[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]simple answer. NOPE.  They aren't married. Problem solved[/quote]

Well then don't be surprised when son declines the offer. [/quote]

They are living together, for me (and majority of people) that is a committed relationship and is treated the same as being married.  [/quote]

But it's not the same at all. They haven't made the commitment. So why would they get the benefits?[/quote]

Sure they aren't married yet but it doesn't mean their relationship isn't serious. I would argue that sharing a home together is serious in it's own right.

Also it's 2023 what about people who never get married? Should they forever be shunned from all family vacations? What about couples who are clearly established and have been living together 5 years? 10 years or 20 years?

It's funny for such a progressive forum where we are very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community we are still very backwards in terms of accepting non married couples.

Also years ago people typically lived in their family home up until they got married because it was socially unacceptable to life together outside of marriage so that's why it was more acceptable to pull the but you're not married card because the person still lived with their family now that we progressed as a society and people can be committed to each other and move in together it's more nuanced.[/quote]
