[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I hope the inconvenience of a divorce isn't what stops my husband from leaving me. You sound really naive. [/quote]

It's not naive.  It's a lot easier for someone to leave, not because they won't have the inconvenience of divorce, but because the thought process is different.  Every couple I know, that said they didn't need that piece of paper, were wrong. None of them realized there was less commitment than they thought.  It was too easier for one of them to cheat or leave during rough patches and always the reason was "It's not like were married".[/quote]

I agree & I disagree. That may be the "norm", but again, I doubt most unmarried have gone to lawyers and drawn up documents as to what happens if someone leaves. We're going into year 17. Neither of us have just gotten up and cheated or left when the times were rough, yet our married friends have.

That says a lot to me. [/quote]
