Grateful/cheerful girlfriend

[Sigmamark7]

In an effort to push the Ungrateful/Argumentative wife thread off the bottom of the page and particularly because the OP hasn’t managed a single response in 4 pages, I thought I’d start a new thread.
I’ve been married and divorced twice and my current girlfriend is a happy kind and generous person, who contributes massively to my life, both emotionally and financially. She would like to get married, but I’m not sure whether it’s a route I want to go down again. If I marry her, will I end up like the OP in the other thread, or will we just continue in the happy way we have been going for the last 10 years?
Clearly I have put the title in as clic bait, so might never reply to comments, but maybe I will.

Marry her, you fool!

Spending your life with someone with these virtues will make your life immeasurably better, longer and happier.

Marry her. Treat here right. Don't let her go.

(Assuming there's love in the mix too, that is. If not, mark her down as a mate but do not live with her)

I am all for more cheerfull threads, but they tend to be less well subscribed than the others. See st driving thread versus Good driving thread.

On topic, if you love her as well as all that other good stuff - don't lose her!!

[Panamax]

A decent enough list although I'm not seeing anything on there that actually requires "marriage".

A 3rd marriage would be a triumph of hope over experience.

Not always, it's worked for me! I was a bit superstitious about it (first two were fine as girlfriends, but somehow marriages didn't last long and I was afraid that marriage = breakdown) but it's been 12 years now...

My 2nd (current) wife moaned when I sold my track car and still occassionaly suggests I get another one........she's a keeper

[Radec]

Don't do it.

My girlfriend is always happy and cheerful. I just have to remember not to mention my wife.

Are you living together? If not, I'd start with that. It can ruin a good relationship.

Marry her.

I've done both things wrong. I married a woman who was much like the one in the other thread. Always picking arguments, never happy, insanely jealous - even just talking to a girl from the office of the company I was working for, about a work related thing, it would be "Who was she? How did she know your name? Are you having an affair with her?" and so on, until after six years our marriage was dead.

Marrying her was the biggest mistake of my life.

Then I met an amazing girl, absolutely mental in bed, very fit, but very loyal too, we had a wild time together, and I never married her.

Second biggest mistake.

So, just marry her even if she's only 75% of what you want in a woman. You'll never find that other 25% in the same woman.

Looks like the mods have deleted it now.

You’ve seen the Hot/crazy matrix haven’t you?
