[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone was congratulatory and proud of 40-something family member for settling down and buying a home. Turns out from public records that their SO actually bought it and is the only one on title. Why would someone lie about something like that? Would your opinion of this person change?[/quote]

OP I'm assuming they were bragging at the family get together. And wanted to be perceived as finally getting their act together.

We knew this couple for quite a few years and FINALLY they decided to get married. There wasn't a church wedding but a minster/priest or so I assumed pronounced them at the restaurant. It was a nice hotel and they had rented the room for the reception. Nice wedding dress - the whole nine yards. Most the guests stayed the night at the hotel. Actually one of the nicer weddings I've been too.

About 2 years later they bought a home. I wanted to look up their address and ended up finding out they were never legally married. Blew me away. Sure enough the warranty deeds etc. since the wedding said "single" man/woman. I felt like it was very deceitful and beneath them. [/quote]

Who cares, honestly? Sounds like they’re more together and committed than a lot of married couples who got that piece of paper and then cheapened the institution by getting divorced. Marriage doesn’t mean much anymore when so few of the people who take their vows can actually uphold them. Maybe they had a good reason for not getting legally married but wanted to show their love for each other. You would have never known unless you were being nosy. [/quote]
