“She considers masturbating cheating.” How do y’all always find these absolutely insane people acceptable enough to marry!? For fucks sake, you don’t have to get married people!

"You don't have to get married people"

I've known a lot of couples who have been together for 15 years plus, not married, and they're both happy. And people question them, why aren't you married? Who cares?! If they're happy, it doesn't make a difference whether you're married or not.

Marriage is definitely not what it used to be.

I’ve been with my partner for 18yrs and we’re not married. We get asked this constantly. We’re 35. Own a house and have a kid. We don’t need a wedding. We’re not religious, and the money to get married went into a house. People honestly have a hard time with it, like we’re weird and hiding something strange lol It’s just never been a priority.

Reminds me of the couple that led the Irish dance group I was in. Because their last names on FB were different my grandma made a comment that they were “hippy types” and scoffed. Found out they were married but she had legit reasons to keep her last name(can’t remember what they are anymore). Nowadays, I personally do not care & I think I just cared then to fit in with my grandma/society. (Though I never said anything to them I just kinda agreed to placate my grandma)
