where are you from? I thought it was a common saying, but maybe only in certain areas. I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and It's a very common saying.
It basically means---
something that may be right for you, may not be right for me--but that's okay.

What is sad??
I dind't think you were coming off as dumb at all. You were just asking for clarification. I hope my response didn't make you feel dumb--it wasn't meant to!

I'm in the NorthEast and I have always heard that saying. I too thought it was very common.

I lived in Chicago for ten years and have lived in California the rest of my life, and I have heard the saying "to each is own" all over the country (New York, Washington D.C., Florida, Colorado, Ohio, Nevada).
Nik, I don't think that you were being curt. You bring up very good points about marriage and relationships. A piece of paper does not guarantee a good relationship. Some people feel it is important to be legally married, while others feel it is important to be married in a religious ceremony, and others see no need for either. I have no problem with the institute of marriage, and I have no problem with people who don't want to be married. What is more important is that you have a healthy relationship with each other. If you want the state or the church to recognize that relationship, that's your call.
Wow

Wow, I didn't mean to get a whole thing started about "to each his own". What I meant is that, while I feel marriage is a great thing, others may not. What works for them works for them, and what works for me works for me. It's a common saying here, so I kinda took it for granted that everybody would know what it meant. My apologies.

LOL!!! this was all started because I did not understand a saying... LOL ok even my brother knows what it means and I dont... forgive me all because I am to slow and it takes my mind a minute to take on things... I really honestly have never heard this saying before and now that I know it is common in other places I feel like my world is a little closed off to reality... maybe its just the company I keep or something but I swear to god I feel really stupid... BTW i am from vegas and not that people here from vegas dont know what that means because im sure they do but i was just asking a couple of friends and they did not know either... maybe its the desert heat that makes me and my girls a little off beat...
lol

It's okay! I thought it might be a Kentucky thing! There are a lot of phrases I don't understand either!
