marriage is overrated.

like fuck am i giving half my house and half my pension to some woman when she aint put a penny towards it.

Too many men get blinded by love and get married. while the laws are as they are its not a wise decision IMO. Especially if youve got more to loose. Its a simple fact that 45% of marriages end in divorce (it used to be 40% a few years ago so notice the trend).

Plus when you inevitably have kids etc then you will be proper fucked when you split. Im not advocating men not doing right by thier kids, but of the men that do pay for the kids (the rest run off ), too many just bend over and take it up the arse to please the ex and give her everything in the deluded belief thats for the best of the kids when often its not. And the laws allow too many woman to get away with raping the man for every penny under the grounds of "its for the kids" when in reality its about her sick vendetta of revenge. And sadly the law allows it because of those men that run, so its almost as if those that dont run get tarnished with same brush and excessively penalised.

fuck marriage.

You dont need to be married these days to look after your partner if you croak if thats your concern. get a will. also being married doesnt change your responsibility to maintain your children just means you cant get fucked by your ex through the courts if you split.

at the moment no. ive got a cossie instead.

I have trust issues so recently have casual relationships. No hidden agendas that way!! And being a student it works out ok.

At least a cossie can be trusted. You KNOW it WILL break down and need lots of money spending on it. You know where you stand.

Plus i cant afford two high maintenance partners at the moment I can barely afford the cossie, let alone a high maintenance g/f as well.

in my experience a lot of younger woman cant be trusted because they are immature and often have an agenda. too many immature girls seem to want to be treated to the "high life" and equate being treated with respect and having fun to be the same as having lots of money spent on them

and then theres single mums, yes the majority seem to be well balanced and have had to learn the hard way what they want in life etc, BUT there is a significant proportion who turn into money grabbing psychos out for anything they can grab, and who are happy to deceive and use men to try and get what they can for thier kid and them. Sure some of them may be bitter over past relationships but going out for revenge in future ones isnt helping thier cause. I seem to attract loads like that who want to move in after a few weeks and then get upset when i dont want to move that quick. And "me and the kids are a package" and " the kids come first" does not mean im a regular source of maintainance money for your kids just because your my g/f. Sure i dont mind helping out every now and then and if eventually it turned serious and moved in together a couple of years down road (note years not weeks/months ) then sure id have to accept my fair share of the responsibility, but if your living seperate then by and large your finances should be independant.

As my social skills are crap, i cant read people while in a social situation/relationship very well as its too much to concentrate on the non verbal communication as well as the verbal. I can very easily observe people and work them out as ive been taught to recognise NVC, deception etc but thats in a interview/observational scenario where you are concentrating on gaining information not social interaction. So knowing that i have to look after my own interests otherwise some people will use me as a doormat, and i aint having that.

Is it too much to expect a partner to be open and honest about what they want in life, thier likes/dislikes etc???

Dont give up fella. sounds like you just havent met anyone half decent yet

Your expectations of someone being honest and open are the same as most peoples - you just have to find the right person to offer you what you want.

In the meantime - i suggest you buy a dog
