so i know facebook and myspace allow the option to list your status as "married"... which is great, if you actually are or have been dating for more than, well, let's just say four months. however, to every single dumb fucking kid who thinks their pathetic excuse to get into someone's pants merits a romantic, spiritual, and emotional connection on the level of marriage - which is intended to last FOREVER - i have this to say to you: you are not special. likely you will not marry this glorified receptacle of your hormonal lust, or for that matter continue dating for too much longer. certainly not forever. can you even wrap your lust-drugged mind around the idea of forever? when they stop becoming attractive and start snoring. when you both get fat and stop being "SOOO HAWT!!11!". when the intensity of your passion is replaced by the solidity of love. when wrinkles and grey hair happen. when your friends start dying, when one of you dies, beyond that. forever. and always. i can bet you that no matter what you think now, you will NOT be so in love with this person forever and always.
all this is doing is reinforcing the disposability of marriage in our society. get married, get unmarried, get married again, list yourself as divorced when all you did was break up with your boyfriend of a few months, or even a year. to forever, a year is nothing. i should know - i've been there. i've been "married" on myspace. and now, he is again. married again. i'm jealous certainly, and i should add not amused that he uses the same old moves on her. i thought i was special... i thought it meant something. it's like recycling nicknames, like warner in legally blonde. [he ends up alone anyway.]
and besides i'm happy with my boyfriend who isn't even my boyfriend anyway.
why complicate things or reinforce their disposability?
we like each other, we are together. when we don't, we won't.
