Love /
My Polish girlfriend's mother called her a prostitute because we live together [113]
People's lives would be good had they chose their partners not on the basis of the exterior, and not just for their immediate need. But they would choose someone educated, caring, responsible.
Why can't it be successful without marriage?
Why do you believe people do not care about education/ability to care and responsibility when choosing ones partner regardless of marriage.
If someone is going to date someone short term or long term obviously these are important issues to some degree....people want caring responsible individuals.
If i was going to date someone....I have values and morals and I would expect the person that I see to have the same otherwise they would not be with me.
I think marriage suits you and thats all well and good.
I have high expectations but I don't need to be married to that person to expect them to be met. I expect them to be met regardless.
