[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll never get "credit" because I don't want to marry and see no need for it. We've been living together for 16 years, raising our kids, sharing our lives, weathering illness, midlife crises, the usual ups and downs. It feels the same to me as when I was legally married to another person. But what do I know. What do people around the world know who live as committed couples, but whose cultures and beliefs don't require the kind of paperwork you need.

Who even asks such personal questions? [b]In 20 years together, I only remember maybe a couple of people ever asking how we met, and no one ever asking how long we'd been married.[/b] Maybe this is something young people from narrow, rigid backgrounds care about?[/quote]

We get asked this every.single.time.  Pp here who lived together for 20 yrs and been married for 8.  Basically it is the second question asked after we get asked how long we have "been together."  Almost no one asks how long we have been married.

DH and I are different races so maybe that is why?  Who knows...[/quote]

Or bc DH is an "old money, Ivy League, WASP"? - I don't know.[/quote]
