Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Get married or shack up?

The more I read about some of the women here, the more I realize how Blessed I am.

The Book of Proverbs spells it out fairly plain for those who take time to read it.

Shack up, less to lose bcs the gubmint system is rigged against the work man.

One man's problems are another man's opportunities. Whose morals do you live?

Isn’t a right answer for all.

Lots would disapprove of how ive lived my life.

Didn’t live it for them or their ideas of what’s right.

Lived it for me & her, worked out pretty dang well too.

True, and neither will prevent one from running around if they so desire. Been my argument for decades.

Moral relativism eh?



Whose judgment matters anyway?



Well you know, some people have their reward. "Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things."

I found two good women, still care for the first, but she is difficult to get along with, oldest daughter has hell with her at times. My second is easy, doesn’t sweat the small cshit.

Whose?
My own. I’ll be the one and only one to answer for them.

I disagree that one’s problems are another’s opportunity. I don’t view life as a zero sum affair.

In life, some get a little more, some get a little less but in the end we’ll all get what we deserve.

Let me explain the modern woman one more time for some of you old farts. Its not your girl, its just your turn.

Smart phone/ social media addiction is a real killer for women. Put them in a place where they are never content.

Some guys get sucked into it but the female brain can’t handle it.

Interesting very few follow the Bible anymore. Of course that is in the Bible that it will come to that also. It is simply a sign of the times we are in these days.

I offer that not knowing the Bible and God is not good in the end. I know YMMV, but ours is chosen. Be careful how you choose your futures

Married.

Depends on your age and the financial status of both parties. The older I get the less likely I will want to get married. Im 59 and date women from 40-62. The more financially secure they are the less they want to be married. Most of the women I date are business women. I wanted to say professional but with you guys I thought that was risky.

Money, money, money, whose got the money. If you are both broke, go for it. If she has all the money, go for it. If you have all the money, just move in together. You will lose your a$$ in a divorce.

the question is, "Do you want to live in iniquity or not?"

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

Don't know them, have no desire to know them. Kind of like the Owners I deal with these days and their Reps. Scumbag lying never keep their word A-holes for the most part, and by and large 30 something never worked a day in their life doing anything but computer crap.

Sure SWMBO bust my chops about spending on hunting and shooting stuff and I sail blithely on, when she has valid concerns of dollars I listen. I don't golf or fish, don't stop by the bar on the way home from work. She has kept my house, kept other snot nosed kids for money when younger. We understood for better or worse, that is was not an idle promise. I have been lucky in that she is an easy keeper. She has her nuances, as do I, but it was supposed to be a partnership.

When she had her kidney transplant, after the couple of weeks in the hospital and in the hotel in Nashville for us to stay close to check things, she opined I was not worth a chit most of the time, but was the best fugger she knew in a crisis. I will take that as the sideazzed compliment she meant it to be.

The world is not peaches and cream, it is sickness and death and kids that disappoint and friends that aren't. I watched her take care of her Veteran Father when he got dementia and I have never been prouder of a person, it was hard on her and her two very successful brothers could not be bothered. Takes a special kind of person to wipe her Daddy's hinney and put up with his mean treatment of her whilst doing it, she cried when he spit on her, but she showed up.

I have a very few really good friends I can count on, and for some reason they are in their late 60s early 70s, to my original point I think "modern" society/people might have something to do with all that...

We lived together for a few months before we got married.

Been married since 2005.
