Almost Engaged

Posted by Acid on June 28, 2010, 12:30 a.m.

I put a down payment on a "promise ring" engagement ring. $20 - Ring's total price:$135

This is going to be the ring she'll get married in but once we're older I'll get her a bigger one to show how far we've made it.

I'm taking AP Physics, Lang, Calc, and US Gov't. Wish me luck, lol. There's a lot of Physics and Calc summer work and I have to make a lab for physics. It's nothing too hard but it's a heavy amount of work. Also, I hate myself for not fully remembering stuff from algebra II and I hate my pre-calc teacher because she didn't teach me the stuff I need to know for this year and made lots of mistakes in teaching us. So know I have to relearn, learn, and unlearn over the summer. -_-;

I'm going to try to keep my grades better than decent for once to try to get some kind of funding for college. I'm planning on going to University of Toledo for either my BS or MS in Electrical Engineering. Or Mechanical. I'm still deciding but I'm probably going to go with EE.

I can't focus on my games. Or my art. Or anything. :'(

My girlfriend's grandpa died. He was a good man and will be missed.

I'm finally starting to get back into making a website for myself. Nothing amazing or innovative or groundbreaking or even modern. It uses some images and a table and I barely even started. It literally has nothing on it, but I guess I'll post it anyway.

I've spent every day, at least 3 hours a day or more for the past 7 months with her. Those girls who "became" whores always were, you just didn't know them well enough. Divorce is not an option. Neither of us believe in it or support it. Both of our parents divorced, mine from drug addiction and hers from lack of love/previous love. We believe in fixing problems, not breaking up over stupid shit. Yes, we've encountered problems, and we fixed them. We're moving to Toledo next year, and pretty much have set up plans from there. It's not a childish "Oh, I love you!" > Kiss > Sex relationship. It's real, true love. We squabble and argue, we solve the problem, and live life.

Every adult in my life has at least once referenced to the "one that got away" in either college or highschool. I'm not stupid enough to postpone or mess this up. I'm not going to "settle" for what I'll get in the future.

If you've got the money and things are going well there's no point in waiting just to see if things go wrong. They can and do go wrong after college, so it's not like making it past college changes anything. You could end wasting years just waiting.

The way I see it, it's cool that you're in love… it's a great feeling of completion. It's easy (or at least possible) to get naive and misjudge the future, but so what? It feels good. The only thing I don't understand is why marriage has to be the ultimate goal of some distant future. I kind of figure it will feel right to get married… when it feels right to get married. And maybe that's what you're feeling now.

I don't know what I'm saying anymore. I'm happy for you. Best of luck with it all.

so if you guys hate each other because one of you killed your children then you still wouldn't divorce? (i'm being drastic because it's fun)

also 7 months isn't that long, my computer is older than that. But i'm just poking fun here. I still recommend what i already stated in my last comment. not that you have any obligation to listen to me :D

That's very irrational, but we would handle the situation as it needed to be dealt with. I wouldn't hate her for it. I'm already going to do what I planned but I would actually like a decent argument going against my point of view. All I've heard so far is "girls are whores" and "cuz thats wut people do". Neither of those are legitimate to me.

All we are saying is: it's so early that anything can happen. It is possible you are right and that you will love each other forever. Then again, you may be not.

Marriages and breaking up don't have anything to do with girls being whores. It's just that people's attitudes towards one another change, and just being addicted to one another isn't a good basis for marriage. Spending 3 hours every day is also different from both living together (and having to pretty much make every single decision together) or having to deal with moments where you can't be together for over a week or so (like long work trips, family visits, personal issues of just one of you). Unless you know that you won't go insane in either of those situations, I wouldn't advise getting married.

That said, I hope that if you disregard my advise, you end up happy for years :)

Jeeze, everybody has little to no faith, huh. Anyways, hopefully things go well for ya. :D

People used to get married because they loved each other, now it's just "Are we old enough?", "Will your job compliment my lifestyle?", "Do we have enough money to live with excess like everyone else?", "Will you impress my friends/coworkers?", or even just because they think they are supposed to and are afraid of being alone. I don't understand it. People got married right out of highschool in the 50's and 60's, and have stayed together for 50+ years. It's the "adults" who think they are being smart about their choices, when they are really being either dumb or selfish, that contribute to divorces.
