If you've been together for 25 years you practically are married, it's just paperwork at that point.
I mean it sounds lame and beurocratic af, but that paperwork does come in handy for medical and legal issues. Say one partner were to become incapacitated and medical decisions needed to be made on their behalf for example.
Ya ya, definitely, you can get partnership agreement notarized that basically accomplished the same thing though
We already call eachother husband and wife often. I guess it is not that important to us, but we joke sometimes about who will kneel first. Maybe we could make it something fun. It would be just a few people around though, nothing fancy.
Think hospital: “Sorry, family only”. Do it before you need it.
My catholic grandma from my mothers side had 14 kids, my protestant grandma from my dads side 7. I have a huge family, my girlfriend's family is jewish, and if you would bring them all together there will be some in a hospital lateron because a lot of them hate each other with a passion and not only for their religion.
It's complicated. My mom is horrible and violent, my dad and his girlfriend alcoholics, my girlfriends father a raging racist, and her mom died when she was only 16 and she lost contact.
So it would be a few dear and close friends. Nobody else, certainly not any family would ever know.
Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear. I meant that sometimes hospital have a policy to not let you in to see or stay with your significant other if you are not a family member. If you are not married you are not family so they could refuse you seeing your partner in some situations.
Ah I see what you mean now.
In my state, you’d be considered common-law married. Might as well get married-married. If you both want it, that is.
Lol ya exactly, you could make it a ridiculous show of doing paperwork, like a comical version of doing your taxes (idk if you are in the US but our taxes can sometimes be crazy)
