Marriage

[Melissa]

Ok, I have kind of a unique situation, so I'll make up ones if I need to.

First of all, I'm not sure what qualifies as "currently in divorce".  Does the decision to do so count?

So, we have already decided to divorce and are separated.  We are both doing our own things with other people, so I'm dating as well.  We're still friends and all and talk about our relationships with the other people and that's what makes our situation unique.

I dont believe, endorse, or ever want marraige. I have never been married.

I have lost trust in what my nation defines as marraige. In my opinion, our legal marraige is headed in the wrong direction. The only reason I would marry would be to make it so whoever I married would have materialistic connection together. And for insurance benefits. That is something I dont currently need or care about. Mississippi is one of the state its illegal to have a same sex marraige in btw. And they do not recognize any marraige done same sex, out of state.

I break marraige up into different parts

Marraige as a legal binding of possessions and persons.
Marraige as a national recognition of joining of union.
Marraige as a religious ceremony.
Marraige as a communal celebration.
Marraige as a symbolic joining of intimacy.
Marraige as a real commitment to each other for now until when it ends, or sometimes till death.
Marraige as a vehicle during giving birth to bind each other and child.

The only thing I care about now is intimacy and commitment to each other which I do outside the national marraige system. I vote for people that I think will help remove the discrimination against in marraige, to help others however that feel it is important. I believe others that really want it should be able to be married without restrictions.

Single and very much looking, which you probably know if you've read some of my other posts. Same-sex marriage is very much illegal and verboten in Indiana... this is Bible-belt country. I think the only place in America that still recognizes same-sex marriages is Massachusetts... although there might be more. However, many churches here will marry same-sex couples, it just can't be made legal.

Personally, I'm not worried about being officially married; it's just never been a big thing for me. I do prefer monogamous relationships, however, and if that means that eventually I'll be in a commonlaw relationship, that's fine with me. Really, I'm only concerned with having kids... I love kids more than anything, and if I have to adopt while single, that's cool with me.

Where in Indiana do you live?

I plan to be legally married one day. I can't wait. I want kids more than anything.

I'm single, and that's how it shall stay. I'm a coward, and I couldn't tell the guy I liked that I liked him... and honestly, I couldn't get married to a girl... I do like girls, but if I got into a marriage it would mean that I had to be the father figure... and that wouldn't work for me.... not in anyway.

Besides... I've never been too big on relationships, which is a good thing, because getting a good one would be very hard for me.

In my opinion I think you need to do a wee more research.

Or in other words not all girls want the same thing you know...

I am a happily married crossdresser.  We have been married for 38 years and have three grown children and two grandkids.  My wife knows about my crossdressing and I dress openly at home.  I did not tell my wife about my crossdressing until about nine years ago.  We worked through some difficult times--not so much because of my crosdressing as from my hiding this from her for so many years.  My wife does not participate here at Susan's other than occasionally looking over my shoulder while I post.  She is fairly well informed about transgender issues, but has no interest in anything connected with computers.
