Is it just me? I love the sisterhood of standards driven dating here, but I know that I never want to marry nor do I want to have children so marriage being the endgame just doesn't really mesh with my own happily ever after.

Would it be considered unusual to view a series of intensely meaningful relationships as being far more satisfying than the notion of marriage? Marriage just seems like a fuck tonne of red tape and the whole "dying alone" thing is something the married women I know actually pray for so....?

Thoughts?
