[quote=Anonymous]I have never married and never wanted to. In a long-term relationship, the one thing I would worry about is if one partner is sick or injured. If you get hit by a bus and are hospitalized, a long-term partner may not even be able to see you, let alone make decisions about your care. A spouse can. This is one of the reasons a right to same-sex marriage is so important. For most other things, people just need to be organized. Who's the beneficiary on your 401(k), for example? If you own property together, how is it titled? You can contract around the rights that marriage confers, but you have to do it. I do worry that some people never set these things up and then leave their partner in a position that they didn't intend. [/quote]
