[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve been together for 20 years, unmarried. He did eventually propose around year 12 but honestly by that  point it just seemed moot to me. We have a daughter, and all the trappings of a typical suburban family. Most people new in our lives don’t even know we’re not married and those who have been our friends for ages don’t care.

Now, marriage wasn’t a big deal to me. I had an abusive husband before my now partner, my mother was a serial marry-er, and I know a lot of people with failed marriages. In my heart, I know that marriage doesn’t equate to “forever” or happily ever after. In that, someone may believe the opposite and that’s okay. For us, I know we are both here because we want to be, day after day, even when it gets hard. Neither of us *have* to stay (although obviously with a child that’s a little different of an equation).

Do you have any joint assets, accounts, and beneficiaries on each other’s wills? [/quote]

Yes. [/quote]
