There is nothing wrong with it. What two adults choose to do is their business.

You're talking about that six-day period in which I was your "boo", aren't you?

Do you think it will make them happy?

I cam from a country were being 'happy' actually might not mean the same thing as it does to you I guess.

You see, in Thailand, when you're faced with a hard life of sustenance farming, t to toil away until your final days as an old hag who may have been lucky enough to have born enough children to carry on the tradition, the idea of happiness doesn't equate to "self-actualization" of any type whatsoever.
Happiness to them is being taken cared of. Ensuring that they have a future. Dare I say it, marrying out of that lifestyle.

I resented my mom for so long for marrying the wretched old man my dad was, and putting me and my sister through a loveless, dysfunctional marriage and upbringing.
But now as I'm older I look back, and think to myself, what choices did she have? Would I have wanted it any other way?

Sometimes, self-actualization and finding 'true happiness' in a relationship just aren't options for sooooo much of the world's population, that settling for comfort and being taken cared of is all they have. So I can't fault it--that being said, I feel doubly lucky for being afforded to opportunity to hold out for true love.

What do I care? I'm more concerned with making me happy (and those around me that I care about).

I've thought about taking that road, hell I thought about it a lot lately. Part of me just wants to not have to do this all alone, wants to be totally taken care of.

To be honest, the only thing that makes me not wanna do it is that it would most likely be with someone I am not attracted to. If there was no sex involved and I was allowed to date others that would be awesome.

There is a better way.

Which in your opinion is what?

just thought i'd quote myself

i edited something about how it's shallow to think money will make you happy

Christianity. With it, you will never be alone.

There is the old adage that 'women who marry for money, earn every penny of it' and I have seen examples of it. It quotes women, but it could apply to either gender. When you're with someone for their money, they're quite aware of it and it tends to be the case that the playing field is never equal. The women I've seen in this position are never considered partners and frequently find themselves demeaned either openly or subtly.

Of course there have to be exceptions to this rule, but in most cases, I can't imagine anyone being happy long-term in that kind of relationship.

Being a wife and possibly even mother CAN be a full-time job as well. Making a home, heck even managing a social calendar IS hard work.

But I'm not alone now!

Besides, Jesus doesn't pay my bill nor will he ever.
