[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"out of wedlock" lol. What is this, 1958?

My DH and I were together for 14 years before we got married. He was divorced (no kids, and no big terrible story -- just figured out they wanted different lives) and just didn't feel the need to do it again. I didn't feel strongly about it one way or the other. At some point we changed our minds and got married, just the two of us on a beach in Hawaii. We lived together for about 10 years before getting married, and 5 of them were in a house we bought together. We don't have kids.

It's 2024. People aren't feeling the need to have the state rubber-stamp their relationship. [/quote]

Op here. Everyone in our circles with kids are married. Of course there are single parents and divorced parents who we don’t know their dating history but everyone we socialize with are married.

I honestly can’t think of anyone I know who just had a baby alone. We know a few people who got pregnant and got married. Some were conceived during engagement. One was a whoops and they had a shotgun wedding. [/quote]

Hmm. I'm a single parent  and my married friends still socialize with me.

Interestingly, I now quite a few couples where the woman was the one who didn't want kids, often because she knew she would be the one doing all of the work.[/quote]
