Nelly Speaks On Why He Hasn't Married Yet

On what he’s looking for in a relationship that he hasn’t found yet:

“The thing is, it’s hard when you’re in this business. People, lets say you’ve known someone for 7 years. But you’ve known them for 7 years in this business. Now, lets take a couple that’s an everyday average couple and they’ve know each other for 7 years. The regular couple is a little different because they’ve actually been together almost every day for 7 years. Now this couple may have known each other for 7 years but they probably only been together five days out a month….You don’t learn as much about a person as you would like to until you actually get a chance to stop and be with that person.

I think people see the relationships that industry folks have and they see the time. But they’re not doing the math on that time. If you do the math on that time you see that it equals out to something totally different than if people were there everyday and doing something.”

On if he’ll stay away from dating other celebrities:

“No, that’s just caused me to shy away from what public perception about what they feel about my relationship. You know what I’m saying, you know I’m like ‘F*ck you.’ [How] you gonna tell me what I should be doing in my relationship? I’m not at home everyday like you. I’m gone. I haven’t seen her in like two weeks. It’s different and people don’t understand how different it really is. It’s hard in that way.

You see so many celebrities who get married and they’re done in a year or they’re done in 2 years or they’re done in 3 years and you know why? Because once they finally get together and they’re with each other everyday they start realizing. “Holy Sh*t! I didn’t know you did that every night. I didn’t know you did this everyday. I didn’t know you ate this food every morning. I just thought you ate that when I’m around.’ Now its just like the sh*t that you thought was cute becomes annoying.”

Hmmmm. So it sounds to us like Nelly is looking for perfection before he’s willing to put a ring on it.

We agree that there should be “no questions” when it comes to your feelings for the other person before you move forward into a marriage, but expecting to not have ANY issues with things like habits, routines, etc. before you can say ‘I Do’ seems extreme.

What do you think, Bossip fam? Do you agree with Nelly’s theory on marriage and what to look for before you take that trip down the aisle?
