AIBU to think that MN is unreaasonble to have a divorce thread...

[jumjum]

... a realtionship thread even a sleep thread but not a marriage thread? How can marriage be redefined if MN doesn't even recognise it?

Would you like to start one then?

Would your marriage section include civil partnerships or should they have their own topic as well?

oh dear... the quality of MN contributors is not what it was....

Did you mean a topic?

Do you mean a marriage topic?

but I would consider myself married and I am gay living in a civil partnership, the relationship thread covers all kinds of different set ups. It's not that "marraige is not recognised".

'oh dear... the quality of MN contributors is not what it was....'

Oh, I was going to post a reply but I don't think my contribution would be up to scratch.

Maybe if you put what answers you'd prefer in your OP then posters can tailor their posts more to your liking?

But if people in marriages and civil partnerships spend as much time together as they do individually asleep why isn't it a thread in its own right.?
And the idea that marriage has an equvialence with relationships is odd. Marriage implies a loving relationship but relationship may not necessarily imply love.

And the idea that marriage has an equvialence with relationships is odd. Marriage implies a loving relationship but relationship may not necessarily imply love What a load of bollocks!

So a "loving relationships" thread?

A relationship may not necessarily imply love?

Yeah absolutely. All these hundreds of thousands of people living together...they fucking hate each other they do.

Slip a ring on their finger though and bang lurve is in the air

SparklyMcSparrow - glad to see you are raising the tone and debating the point from one of high principle.

Marriage implies a legal relationship. Doesn't have to be loving.

Loving relationship topic would be good but that would not replace the need for a marriage thread or IABU

Vallpollicella - have your read the relationshop thread

If you're saying that just because people are married that doesn't necessarily mean they're in love and happy and might like a support thread to help them get through, I would say, going on the amount of threads there are about posters DH/Ws, a large chunk of MN is about marriage it's just spread about a bit.

But I'm only guessing at what you mean as you've not really spelled it out clearly, but that might just be me not being here long enough.

Habbibu - really? What sort of "marriage" of you possibly thinking of... " to love and to cherish... in sickness......

Why not a legal partnerships topic? Would you include civil partnerships?

Have I read which relationship thread? There's thousands of them!

Do you mean the relationship topic?

Yeah I have. Not sure what your point is?

Forced, actually. Of convenience. For green card. Failing.

jamjam get my name right!

Not all married people are happily in love, in fact I think I know more miserable married people than I do couples not married.

A marriage topic would end up exactly the same as relasionships!

I think you are confusing threads with topics?
