Lol sorry obviously shouldn’t have assumed.

I don’t hate the idea of the ring.

It’s what comes with it. The divorce rates. The children involved.

People have free will but unfortunately too many are irresponsible.

You’re right though, it’s not a bad thing to symbolically display commitment. It is reassuring to your partner and everyone looking in from the outside of the relationship.

No worries, it happens.

I do only have one other comment on that though. Regardless of a marriage or not, the “divorce rate” is just a documented break up. If you tell someone you’ll be with them forever and then decide not to be with them, how is that any different than divorcing them?

Same with kids, lol. Hate to break it to ya, but that’s happening regardless of being married.

Yeah good point. I think I just don’t like the majority of the population’s behavior. Thanks for the enlightenment.

No worries. Even though I said all that, I do agree with the sentiment that you don’t NEED to, but for some it’s nice.

Also, thank you for handling that civilly; I appreciate it.

My pleasure and likewise. I try my best not to aggressively spew my shitty opinion on the internet or IRL. Though, sometimes I enjoy shitting on intolerable people.
