[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the main reason I've never legally married my partner. We actually had a small destination wedding in another country several years ago and call each other husband and wife, all our friends and family think of us as married, but for all legal purposes we are single -- we each get our own health insurance through work and for taxes I file as head of household and claim our kids, he files as single. We've done the math and being married would cost us about $15K a year in taxes.[/quote]

This is smart. Wish I had thought of that. I should have had my religious wedding, but not the county issued marriage license. DH makes a lot more than me and pulls me up several tax brackets upwards. I feel like I'm being robbed by being married. We have our own health insurance and such, there was no reason to be married legally.[/quote]

BF and I have been together 25 yrs.  we have 2 kids together.  I own the house we live in.  Everyone thinks we're married except our oldest friends who have known us since we were in HS.  We have decided that we will get married when he reaches 62.  It's part of the start of our retirement life together.  Hopefully once we start retirement there won't be as much as a marriage penalty to pay.[/quote]
