Looking back could you have seen the warning signs?

As getting older so going to step the up the dating as would like to be married in early 30's, and it worried me that ive read posts from some bright intelligent people on here who seem to have got it very wrong.

So just curious if it was there but you chose to turn a blind eye or if the spouse genuinely changed?

Muslim marriage = not clear cut in court yes. Plus wouldn't want kids for a few years so should be safe ish!! Also only go for intelligent women so salary is kinda comparable

So get married then. You've clearly decided on your fate. What's the purpose of starting this thread?

Your posts from a bedsit when everything you ever loved has been ripped away from you and you no longer get to see the kids will be interesting to read.

Do not get married.

It isn't about intelligence or analysis. It's not a business transaction. (Speaking from a Western culture viewpoint; things may be different from an arranged marriage perspective - you did mention muslim, earlier.)

Why cant you bring up children in a family environment where the parents arent married?

Utterly backwards viewpoint.

Bear in mind though JAYB, the OP does have the 'honour killing' option if his missus plays up!

PS men tend to ignore things when women complain about X, Y and Z right up until the bitter end... so forget warning signs, you get blatant complaints and still you do nothing. And you can only prove you've had a successful marriage when one of you is dead, otherwise, it's still a marriage waiting to be a divorce!

None of this guarantees anything at all.
