What are the worst mistakes people make in life?

Buying cars every 4 years instead of getting their money's worth out of them. Cars are the WORST investment anyone could make

What would you think about a girl who went ahead with marriage plans without my support? She set a date, and went out and bought a dress, and I haven't even proposed to her yet. So I try to talk about it, and it deteriorates into an argument every time. Just when I'm getting ready to pack my things, she somehow pulls us back from the edge, and we make up, and in the end, nothing has changed.

I must be weak, but I'm not sure how I "really" feel. I can't bring myself to act until I feel 100% about what I'm doing.

PS: Sorry for hijacking the thread.

i think it's fairly obvious... she has no respect for you opinions. do you really want to be married to that?

You hit that nail on the head. I'm about to marry too soon, to the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. Problem is, I don't know how to extricate myself from the situation. The marriage has its own momentum now, and all my attempts to slow it down seem to fail.

Sounds like you're 100% sure that this is a mistake. Pull the trigger man, this is your life we're talking about.

Yep, that's pretty evident to me that he should not be getting married.

Pretending that you have no say in the matter is just pathetic; there is no other way to look at it. Due to a personal weakness and not wanting to confront the matter (Bullsh*t you have no control - people pointing a gun to your head?) you're going to marry somebody you don't want to. It's bad enough doing that when you don't know, but knowing you don't want to marry somebody and getting married anyway? Inexcusably idiotic. Stop the wedding now because you're deserving of no sympathy down the line if you don't.

Getting offered sex by one of the hottest chicks you've met and not being 'prepared'.

Thank you Skoorb. I don't have any friends in my life right now that are willing to hear my story and smack me in the back of the head, which is what I think I need.

Don't build lies on a foundation of lies. If one fails, they all do. I she this happen in females mostly.

Learn to shut up when the time comes, don't keep spewing forth stuff that is not required. I see this mostly in males.

Don't let people walk over you like you're a doormat. I see this mostly from the first person.

Money doesn't buy a lot of the things you will want in life. Personal experience.

Taking the chance and getting a "No" is better than not taking the chance and tearing yourself apart wondering "What if?" More personal experience.

Nothing hurts more than a woman's scorn, especially one that is close to you. Always be truthful and honest. It may make them mad at you in the short term but in the long run it will hurt a lot less.

Almost forgot: DO NOT START SKIPPING CLASSES IN COLLEGE! Once you start it just snowballs from there.

I hear quite frequently of people who felt this way before getting married. They got married anyway and some are now regretful.

I have another friend who literally walked out of the church before going down the aisle because she had reservations. A few years later she married someone else and now has 3 kids and is thrilled. Best decision she ever made.

Make sure you're doing the right thing for the right reasons, not just because it's expected. If not, just back out. My cousin's fiance called off their wedding about a week before the event was supposed to occur. And this was a BIG wedding, so it took guts (and the willingness to loose a lot of money), but it was the right thing to do for them.

a couple i know called off their wedding a week before it was to happen and had already spent so much money and lost so much in deposits they were so broke they had to still live in the same apartment even though they completely broke up. it was hell for both of them then but in the end it worked out better.

You mean KNOW! At the least put it off for a while. If she's worth much she'll understand that. Course she'll do the whole "wasting time" and "what am I doing if we're not going to get married" crap, etc. but don't listen to a word of it.
