[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you be so reckless and stupid.  There are certain protections for married couples that domestic couples don't have.  Plus, it's a lot easier for either of you to split because it's not like you are married.[/quote]

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I have the same protections as I took time to make sure I had them, most people do not. We took time to create trusts, write up custody agreements, agree on finances, things that people do during divorce and pay dearly for. Could those things all change? Yes, they could. But your spouse could leave you tomorrow. No difference.

We have been together 16 years with no problems while I have seen 12 people marry & divorce in that time, many after only 2 or 3 years of marriage.

I do not feel I am being reckless. My commitment to my partner is no less strong than that of a married couple. I think it's stronger (see above regarding the divorces we've seen).

Our relationship is very solid, marriage would not change that, neither would any of the "protections" it offers. [/quote]
