And it's your prerogative to choose this.

 

I don't want to get married, but nor will I bother using lengthy descriptions of our defacto relationship when "husband" or "wife" gets the message across quite clearly. My descriptors aren't hurting anyone, so why would I care?

 

I was not meaning to come off as disagreeable, more of an inquisition.

I was refrencing my own country, the US.

 

I understand some peoples view vary, that is why I was inquiring.

I am pro-marriage. I'd never live with a man otherwise.

 

I tend to agree, having been both married, and then lived with someone. Neither form of co-habitation is a guarantee of success.

Yeah, my co-habitation has been vastly more successful than my previous marriage. It's got a lot to do with why I no longer see marriage as anything specia for myself.

I personally think marriage is for taxes and insurance. . .just me though.

 

I was going to get married, thankfully I did not.

 

Sometimes, I think the reason he asked was because he thought I had a trust fund hidden somewhere. . .

 

What I like to say now is that, declaring your love for someone is sweet, but I do not believe in the institution of marriage anymore.
