For me, reality has finally set in. It has burned its way into my psyche. It is the realization that, at 56 years of age, I still don?t want to be married, although I have been engaged twice before in my life. Though I find nothing wrong with the premise of marriage, I have never found a girl that I wanted to see and be with till death due us part! It is probably a failing on my part, but it is the truth, my truth! I am completely comfortable with just having a girlfriend. In fact, my latest girlfriend and I are living together at my house. It is my way to see and experience ?marriage? without the formalities and legalities of the commitment.

The Realization?

I surmised that, after seeing an episode of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, that maybe he had the right idea! He said that it is better to be with a person SOLELY because you WANT to be with that person, and not because of legalities. There would be no need or grounds for divorce, just a parting of ways. That was my realization, my epiphany, and Im sticking to it ! Thanks Gene for my enlightenment. Now if only my girlfriend felt that way! Lol

That is my question! I have been going out with this girl for a few months, and was considering getting her some jewelry. My concern is what that might do to our relationship. By that I mean, I do want to get her something nice, but do not want it to put thoughts in her head (marriage!). I’m not against marriage but I am not ready to make that kind of commitment, atleast not yet! So what would be a nice piece of bling to give her, to show as a token of my affection, yet at the same time, not illicit any future thoughts? I definitely will not get her a ring of any kind, but maybe a necklace, or earrings. That should be safe enough? Ladies out there, I need help! I need your opinions!
