Now this may come out of the blue for most of you, hay it even came out of the blue for me but I really am thinking about this one.

Now I have not long been out, maybe 18months, and I love it. To just be me and not have to hide anything about who I am is inspiring.

I have met some one very special, as you may now know from my last post, and the question has been asked. Not will you marry me, but how we felt about the subject, and it brought a lot of feelings about and I was quite happy to deal with them ( for a change ).

Now in a personal capacity I have never been a very big supporter of gay marriage. This may stem from the fact that all the marriages that I have seen, and been there for seem to go very pear shaped at a speed second to non.And if a socially acceptable heterosexual marriage can go so wrong, how will gay marriage work, for me that is? I have no doubt in my mind that these people/unions where not meant to be, and thus the separation, divorce or attempts of separation.

As I have asked myself more and more questions about this topic of "MARRIAGE" , not just homosexual but heterosexual too, I seem to be easing into the idea. However, my biggest concern is why do things seem to change so drastically when one says they do:-??? I have always just been happy with been together, and if you love someone then whether you get married to them or not really holds no sway on the emotional, physical or intellectual attractions that you have with that person.

Now if you do not know I live in South Africa, and I have not followed the news much when it came to gay marriage, and was just wondering if any of you knew where I could get some more info.

Now please do not get me wrong, for those of you who have great marriages I begrudge you nothing, this comes from the heart when I say I'm happy for the both of you. I just want to know how do you make it work so well. I know that communication is one of many key factors, and yes you may have seen this one coming, but I am stuck in the middle of another failing marriage and want to help as much as I can. Or would it be better to just not get involved.

I really wish my thought process was a lot clearer, this all came out a bit back to front again, but hay if you got any questions I will be more than happy to answer the best that I can.

Many Thanks.

ME ;-D

To hate is instant, to love takes time, but a broken heart is ones own worst enemy forever.
