GC, no one is saying marriage has to be COMPULSORY. If DA likes his set up, fine. If it wouldn't work for you, fine too. You could always marry some hellcat psycho who would keep your life from being boring if you preferred.

I'll tell you what though, after a bit the tail chasing becomes just as much of a routine, if not more. Self indulgence is all very well but its like a diet of nothing but cakes, after a bit it starts making you feel a bit sick.

Having kids isn't a mistake BTW, its hilarious fun. When you want them, anyway.
