has this board put anyone off a relationship?

[spence82]

Am I being weird feeling less confident about getting into a long term relationship after spending a long time reading thread's on this board?

This site was very helpful for me when I had relationship issues with my ex and I know this place is usually advice for people having trouble so won't reflect the majority of happy relationships.

It makes me worry for my rights. As in I own my house if I ever get married will I have to give up half of it etc.

It's hard to explain what I mean but it makes me think I'd be much more secure in life staying single and childless.

Don't even know why I'm posting this really so please tell me I'm being weird and being married is the best thing ever

I am absolutely fascinated by what I read on MN relationships. It would not put me off having a relationship but it would make me think carefully about what I wanted from one. If anyone posts on MN expecting their opinion to be rubber stamped and agreed with, then they are in for a surprise. A lot don't come back for that reason. MN is a bit like a family, they tell it like it is and not what the Post wants to hear. I think the differing opinions are useful, but, just as I might listen to what a family member says, I digest the information and then would make my own decisions. MN is a guide not a rule, for me.
