Divorces happen all the time, a ton of my friends got divorced, my friends parents etc. I have seen the damage first hand. It far outweighs this retarded "love" concept and its ok baby we'll figure it out when it happens, i just love you so much.

Most people get married when they shouldn't. "Locking it down" for fear of flight risk, "it's been long enough", "it's this is or we break up because she wants it", all reasons to :nope: not hitch yourself to someone legally.

I'm anti-marriage for most people. It's staggering how many people I know personally who are in miserable marriages. Then crank out crotchfruit, buy fancy shit, do fancy things in an attempt to fix it...when at the core it was just not a good idea to begin with.

:micdrop: Love actually exists and it is far from a retarded concept but your woman (and you) have to have a lot more going than ZOMG! Mostly you just need a machine gun in the trench mentality that you're going to defend each other and take all comers. You also need to be compatible in some key areas, like $$$.

This is going to sound :gay: but 22 years have passed since I put a ring on it so I am gonna weigh in....... Unless you have some kind of REAL :unicorn: soul mate shit happening.......You have to be friends...I mean really good friends. Such friends, that it is easy to see each other as family when the proverbial honeymoon is over. Because for the great majority of us, life is hard, times will be rough....and yes, there will be blood......

Great sex and attraction will not help in these situations......

Only friend/family will .......

That definitely bodes well, mang..... I was chiming in on the whole divorce rate thing generally, not your pending engagement specifically ....... the forum redacted a few of the other quotes that would have made that clearer.......

Your point is a good one.... I think way too many people get married before really knowing one another ...... I think pre-marital cohabitation is essential......

Money, kids, religion. If you don't sincerely (not "he/she will change" shit) agree on these three, don't even consider the coal.

That’s the plan, but she wants engagement before then. And the risk is 1/100 of marriage then cohabitation therefore engagement ...

I always thought the maintenance was transferrable? They're correct in saying it's not?

Maybe try taking it back to that other diller to get it done.

Called them, they said they can’t service it either. Because they will “eat the cost” otherwise.
So far I talked to 4 people, 1 from bmw and 3 from 2 dealerships. Everyone saying no. I think ill have to service it myself or eat $700 for the “transfer” fee

Think of it as a minor bump in the road on what has other been a screaming deal on the back of Peter Poon.

Check the lease agreement.

There was nothing I could find in the paperwork for my Colorado. As long as it doesn't blow up and is otherwise fine at least turn in, it doesn't matter. I drove it three months with the oil life at "0" to maximize my free services.
