Marriage makes a relationship FINAL? Dude seriously???

So let me get this straight....you are telling me that even though I am in a committed relationship (of 5 years) that I have to make it final??? What if it is final?? Because it is, hes it for me....marriage or not (and I wont be getting married). Its a very concrete relationship. I understand what you are saying...well actually I hope its not what I think you're saying ("you can be together for so long without marriage, but the relationship is never going to be final".) Why does a relationship have to be final???? Thats not what a relationship is to me at all.

Its two people who love eachother unconditionally, immensely, tell eachother secrets, learn from mistakes, and are just best friends. That to me is a relationship (and if Im correct thats pretty much a marriage without the legal system involved and without the money trapment).

Seriously please help me understand.

I have been in a committed relationship for 5 years now. Why should I get married??? To conform to Society, to be like "every" other person???? Id rather be my own person. Not getting married doesnt make me any less committed or lazy. We have been through a lot together....sickness, other women, other men....stuff that married people go through. I dont need a piece of paper or some huge party to show my love for him....everyone who knows us knows I love him immensely.

I have some people go as far as saying "Getting married is what I needed to stay with him....." So you needed marriage??? Thats just pathetic and wrong.

I dont need marriage to know that I love him, I dont need any of that. I completely content, committed, and secure in my relationship

Umm,

I have taken the stance of abortion....and it wasnt because I didnt want the responsiblty it was due to the fact that I dont have money to support (let me guess I should think about that before I have sex.....), and its definitely not because my partner (my boyfriend of 5 years) is very mature and supportive.

There are many reasons why I chose this route. And just because it doesnt live up to your standards does not mean Im wrong

Its the choice of the woman pregnant.

Freedom of choice.......thats all I have to say.

Just because it DOESNT meet your view or opinion doesnt mean you have the right to judge.
