Would you marry after 2 weeks?
I really was not going to get into the new HBO, show Girls. I am soo far from being a young girl (birthday is in 10 days!) and I don’t live in New York (not yet, that is.). Yet here I am, thinking about last night’s season finale.
One of the characters decides to up and marry a guy she met a whopping 14 days earlier. Now, I am all for spontaneity and living in the moment, but how does a two week relationship evolve into a marriage? Well, it’s fictional and on HBO, which isn’t just TV, so whatever.
The reality is though, there are people who believe in love at first sight. Some fall so hard and so fast, that they commit to a life together right away. Does that mean their love isn’t real, though?
I really want to know the marriage statistics on people who met and married in a short amount of time, compared to those that didn’t. What do you think those numbers would be?
Would you marry someone after two weeks of knowing them? Do you think love at first sight is possible?

@Disco, if you’re paying $1000, you don’t have to cry about it. But it also so trips me out when a guy is crying about him paying for all the things his baby mamas buying with his $50 a week child support (rothlmao)

I sure wished the judge said that to my ex. Nevamind, just remembered my ex wasn’t there for the judge to speak to (lol).

Leggs – She wouldn’t let him say a word. Only because we’d been in there a gazillion times and she was tired of it.

I once had the girl at the bank tell me that she wouldn’t date me because I had 2 kids and probably didn’t have any thing left after child support, mind you she was cashing my check. Well one day I had to break it down to her, what she saw on my check was after child support

My ex husband thought since I made more money than him that the payments were going to be $680 for 2 kids under age 8. That was just a starting point ended up being $1044 per month. When we split all I asked for was $700 no court involved. We could split holidays and birthdays. I’m sure $700 month seem like a better deal now.

After a couple of years paying the amount awarded, my kid’s dad checked himself in some hordy tordy place and claimed “sickness” for getting reduced. Funny thing, right after that little trick, they confiscated his taxes which was a few thousands. I just got an email saying my payment information had been updated. Logged in and bam, payment in my account the next day. God don’t like ugly.

The amount I was awarded is laughable, but I knew he didn’t make a lot of money but when he paid and was a dollar over and asked for his dollar back I again laughed and walked away….just spiteful.

My kid’s dad amount was upped because of the games he played and rightfully so. So to get him caught up the judge stuck it to him.

Dynamic — I think you have me confused with another blogger, but I’m happy for you all the same.
By the way, is your list of criteria in any particular order of importance?

Darn it, Dynamic! I was so hoping it was the “L” that was the typo in that 4:35.
