Would You Marry Someone Out Of Pity?
« on: April 24, 2007, 07:18 PM »

Would you marry a man or woman out of pity probably because you have stayed too long together or you know the relationship is not working out well and you don't want to break her heart. Will you marry that person?

no don't marry anyone you don't love , what if after the marriage you fall in love with another girl? what re you goin to do? divorce her or cheat on her either way u will end up being the "bad one" in the relationship so my advice is break up with her when you can before you have other priorities like kids.

I think there could be more complicated cases than that. Not just living together and feeling pity.

Let me think out a fictitious scenario, Lets say you lived together and on the road because of your reckless driving, there was an accident and the person got some disability that will definitely mar the chances of getting some one else to marry.
What would you do ?

Love, not pity should be the prevailing factor in deciding your decision to marry.

,  so that years down the line you'll beating yourself up about not marrying the person you fell in love with. Unless one is very tolerable person, who wont complain, i'm totally not for it! You'll just keep envying your friends & colleagues who'll be married to their sweethearts while you'll be managing the one you married out of pity  Embarrassed

Marry out of pity? No!
But you said "you have stayed too long together" and "don't want to break her heart"
How long were you together?
If you've been together since the age of 17 and you're now 35-

Yeap. You gotta marry her! Grin

I'm curious why you would stay together so long if there was no love?
And why would you want to do the same with your marriage?till death do you part?


Nah, It'd be a mistake to marry without love.
(Unless maybe if she's pregnant or already had babies for you- you know our culture  Embarrassed)

Marrying out of pity is never the best, the real Love has to prevail. A lot of people had been brain-washed to take this wrong step.
Let me share a scenario with you
There is this lady who lost her track due to a distant relationship problem, she was lured into a new one when it was even less than 3 months to her wedding with the original guy.
When  she was asked why she just messed up things and why wouldn't she consider her staying with the old guy who is now ready to marry her ? She said this new guy lost a lady two years ago to another man and he's been so down till he met her  now she wouldn't want to break his heart as well( PITY OF COURSE)   even though she still loves the other guy.
Never you try that , marry in love not in pity, the aftermath of a wrong descision is always,  Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

No I wont.  And i'll advise you not to marry someone out of pity.

Marriage is a sacred thing, you don't jump into it anyhow. Love and Trust are the main ingredients of marriage.

My answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

courtship is good,long courtship not too good,very long courtship baaad, it kills the flavour because humans get bored easily,  Never marry out of pity but, If u truly dnt want to hurt her,try and rekindle that which made u fall in love wth her in the 1st place, and dnt forget Okafor's theory Wink

to me u should marry her WHY? because it seems u 've understood  the babe. and there is no such thing as love. I don't believe in it but I believe in understanding. any marriage u see that last is build on understanding not love.
  if u leave her and marry another babe the same thing will happen when una don do the thing too much.

Please do not marry out of pity, get married to someone you understand and who understands you too, someone you know you can live with and be happy, you musn't necessarily love her.
