Alcoholic

no... not exactly.
me & my hubby sees many guys that get married because they felt it was "time" to do it in their life.

but honestly, if you & your friends like to date honger girls.... no one can help you ga bor....biu gor~ basically, you guys just ask for it by dating them long term!

you can still get married if you plan to not have kids. nothing wrong with that, unless you can get pass your own family, & get pass your wife's family that is. or else, you'll just end up having kids because "your obligated to" because you need to be so-call "responsible". but just because you don't have kids, doesnt mean you can't have a family of two people ga jeh

common law is fine... it's just a friggin status for better tax return jeh. me & my hubby as common-law before we got married la. makes no diffference anyways. but then, we're in love enough that we wanted the status of "married" because we value marriage quite seriously & highly. we did it because we felt that we were ready, & was ready to make each other that "special someone" for the rest of our lives.

besides, the people you hang around with (from what you tell me Biu Gor), they're so whipped for god's sake! like after even having a stable girl friend, you guys need a frigging permit in order to do the things you guys like! so it's no wonder why your friends tell you not to get married lah. settling & behaving is good. but doesn't mean you're kicked into the dog house....& don't have personal space to do things you like lor. respect each other's hobbies mah~ aiiii
