ORIGINAL: ashjor911 LadyConstanze If white is so not your colour, I am sure you will be amazing in a pink, yellow one, I dont get it, when 2 humens stay togther for 2-3 years, maybe having a baby togther, but dont want to be married, why? Is it (for better or for worse) or ( for sickness, & in health) I have to say this: each one who dont want that after some 3-6 monthes of good relationship, then they scared from the commetment, or just dont want the responsabilty or even scared to death of sharing their love to the open to each person they know, I have never been married, I think small fights do makes it worth it, I dont imagine life without that special bond. I don't do pastels, and pink or yellow are even worse than white, seriously, I don't want to look like a meringue and to spend a fortune on a dress you wear once, hell no... Well, you might not get it, but you see I had a couple of relationships that lasted longer than 3 to 6 months, some lasted years but in the end it didn't work out. So instead of having a track record of marriages and divorces, I opted for not being married. quote:

If you are living with somebody, you have the same amount of responsibility, and if you are living together you're not exactly hiding the fact that you are with that person. I don't have children, I never saw a reason to get married, in fact the whole "big wedding, invite everybody including family members you successfully avoided for years, spent tons of money to cater to them, for a venue, a dress, booze..." always turned me off. You know, starting your married life with owing lots of money to the bank because you had a big wedding just makes no sense to me, I'd rather pay the mortgage off quicker. And funny enough a lot of people still pay off their wedding dept while they are going through divorce proceedings. For me a marriage is something that concerns the people who get married, nobody else, I'm not keen on weddings anyway and for me marriage won't change a thing, most likely I keep my name and will not wear a ring, nor will he, it will just make a bunch of things easier, insurances and all that, or should one of us have an accident, less legal trouble, etc. Basically the only reason why I said "OK, hell why not" is because I am sure it won't change a thing. 3 to 6 months would be much much too hasty for me, you're still getting to know each other. I was saying to my other half "Are you sure we shouldn't wait a bit more?" - and we've been together for over 8 years now, 4 of them living together and owning property together, I'd say it doesn't make a difference at all in the relationship, the only thing it will make easier is really simple legalities, like one of us being away on a business trip, a call from the bank or an insurance and the question "Are you the wife/husband?" if you answer truthfully and say "No, the partner" you usually get "Oh then I can't discuss this with you..." Since the phone is in his name, water and electricity is in my name and stuff like that, it will just make it all a lot simpler, but definitely not a big "do", neither my dogs nor my cats will wear flower garlands, we'll just have a quick trip to the registry office and then go for a meal. As I said, if it wouldn't be for paperwork, I wouldn't bother at all as it's not going to change anything. A piece of paper doesn't make or break a relationship, the people do.
