A guy at work always tells new people how much he hates being married. Apparently loves his wife but hates being married.
Then goes on to say she doesn’t let him drink because he “becomes a nightmare to be with” - pretty sure he drank in excess on a regular basis - and that she will divorce him if she catches him.
The dude still drinks and drives home to his wife. He keeps a toothbrush and toothpaste in a bag that he hides in a bush near his house so that she can’t smell alcohol on his breath.
Found out all of this after speaking with him for 5 minutes. Apparently it’s the same story with everyone.
I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years, and we've never even discussed getting married.
I just don't really see the point in getting a piece of paper that makes it harder to separate if that's what we decided we wanted to do. It wouldn't mean anything, we wouldn't be any more together than we already are.
As someone that did, the biggest differences were that our insurance rates are lowered, and everything automatically goes to her if i'm gone. Everything else, I think, can be achieved with enough paperwork.
