I'm not ignorant of the facts you stated. I realize that it's only relatively recently that women stopped being property of their husbands. Yes, it was all business. But in this particular case we're talking about me and my SO. Our relationship. What we want out of it. I cannot speak for him and will not attempt to until I've asked him about this. But I care only about love in a marital situation and would prefer to keep any and all business out of it. My comment about a capitalist society stems…

My SO and I don't want children, so I'd have to disagree with your statement that "For a man the only reason to get married is to have kids". That is not true in this case.

Sorry, but your analogy doesn't make sense to me, as I don't take birth control. Is there perhaps another analogy you could use? I'm sure you have a good point, I just can't grasp it. Thanks.

I wouldn't understand why it existed.

But I'm on here being a silly emotional woman, so all the downvotes! : P

I wonder this myself. Everyone sees marriage differently, I guess. To me it is a life-long declaration of love and commitment, nothing more. That's why I don't care to file for a marriage license or have the state recognize the union. I know we're together, so does he, and that's what matters.

That was my point, actually. We could call ourselves "married" and refer to each other as "husband and wife" so that others would realize we're in a life-long committed relationship. "Boyfriend and girlfriend" doesn't convey that. However, we would never be legally married. The state would not recognize the union as official.

If this is an emotional thing for you, why even bother with marriage at all? Just live together forever. That is exactly what I intend to propose to him.

I was hoping not to make the marriage a contract in the first place, thus the whole not getting married on paper thing.

I said that he makes more than me. At least at this point.

He makes more money, not me.

No, I'm not trolling. This is an issue my SO and I are having. I was hoping to get unbiased third party male points of view on the situation.

Absolutely. They adore him.

I was hoping to eliminate the business contract part of marriage by not getting legally married on paper. Perhaps I am foolish or naive or fanciful, but I don't believe marriage should be a business contract, only an expression of love. I find it sad that that's deemed impossible in a capitalist society.

Marriage is not just an expression of "I love you." Then I guess it's just my fanciful wishes that it could be. That's all I want mine to be. And wait until kids come along My SO and I don't intend to ever have children, so that theoretically would never be an issue.

in the eyes of the state That's why I wanted to propose a compromise that doesn't involve the state. If there's no legal marriage, then there's no legal divorce, and then there's no need for a preup (legal document).

My SO and I don't intend to have children, so theoretically that shouldn't be an issue. However, if we ever did have children and if something were to happen to me, I would trust my SO to take care of the children. I would also trust the few family members I still have.

But if he really loved me then he would never ask for it. See why we're arguing over it? :/

I think he's looking at marriage as a business deal, I'm looking at it as something emotional. His thoughts are, "If something goes wrong then she could take my money. This money is mine and I don't want her having it if we are no longer operating as a unit." And I agree with that. If we are operating as two independent people then I should not have anything that is expressly his. But my thoughts are, "I would never go after his money if we were not together. If he loves me and trusts me then he…

That's the problem. That is his point of view, while mine is "If you trust me then you would never ask for a prenup in the first place." It's kind of a lose-lose back-and-forth we have going right now.

All he's doing is locking the doors because it's possible someone might try to break in and steal everything. He's not saying the neighbors are a bunch of thieving scumbags. I've never thought about it in that way, that's a great analogy. Thank you. Something you should never have a claim to. Ever. Unless he shares it willingly. I also agree with this. The idea of alimony never made sense to me.

Would you mind explaining why? I can only see this from my point of view and I'd like to get male points of view on the matter. Thanks.

I looked into it, our state does not recognize common law marriages as valid.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
