> inability of anyone to accurately predict the future
sarcastic response: "sorry hun, we can't get married cause i'm not sure we'll be together forever and i don't want to pay money if we break up."
real response: There's risk in everything you do, and if you aren't willing to risk some of your time and equity into another person then you wouldn't do well in a marriage anyway
- colordrops 12y agoMost risks that people take, especially with risks of such high probability, don't involve another person visciously working to make your life miserable in and out of a court of law. Romance and taking a leap of faith and all that are just very recent fictions, especially in Asia. Marriage has been a utilitarian tradition since it began. There are lucky people with wonderful loving marriages, but it's completely unrealistic to expect everyone to seek this out at extreme long term risk to livelihood and happiness.
