[QUOTE="Dove, post: 732821, member: 535"] Common law is a state dependent thing. But if you are willing to be common law married why not just be regular law married? You know? I dont know how things are there but I've personally witnessed some heart wrenching situations with couples who were not married or they were common law. In a common law marriage here their children can trump your decisions regarding their care. I suppose being religious impacts my views of marriage certainly but I'm being very honest about how I would feel and I know A LOT of women feel that way. The forever girlfriend topic is a hot one. I mean im practical and romantic. I my husband understood this about me before I even did. Also he kind of stepped in as some care taker when I was so sick because of my kidney problems. When he dropped me off at rehab, once I signed papers that was it. His line to me was severed. He couldnt call. Couldnt get info. Nothing. It didnt matter if he was my emergency contact either. I think when he was told by the rehab nurses that he wasnt my spouse and they cant confirm or deny that I was even still there he decided he was going to marry me asap because that is exactly what he did. He just cant stay outta my business you know? He is nosey as fuck. Of course it's more than this. He would throw himself in front of a grizzly bear for me. There really isnt much he wouldnt do for me and because I KNOW that I actually require very little. Funny how that works isnt it? [/QUOTE]
