+1. Or are you thinking you'll have an arrangement where he only sleeps with men outside the marriage?

I'm not really seeing what's in this for him, particularly since he has such a large range of potential partners.

Read the original post. Neither of them want sex, so they would both be getting married for the benefits (health, retirement) and the fact that they are bf's and great companions is the bonus.

The OP is not the bi one though.

If not, I still think a roommate or domestic partner situation could still work. But to commit to marriage means to commit to each other until the end. Frankly, I would do it in your shoes—the long haul—as long as I knew he was also fully committed to see it through until the end. Growing old sucks and growing old alone is worse. A marriage based on companionship later in life could be a really functional symbiotic relationship. You could take each other to doc appointments, travel together, spend your retirement years with each other’s companionship, etc.

Btw, have you vacationed together yet? I wouldn’t even consider this until you do.

Also, what is your family situation and his? Do you guys have siblings or living parents? Would you each be ok with the other having completely legal authority over matters as a spouse? To make medical decisions for each other? How would your respective families handle this?

Many vacations together!

I think you guys should live together like Will and Grace, but not be in a relationship. All the perks, none of the cons.
