[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 246935, member: 1514"] As you can see in my signature me and my SO have been together for 25 years. Longer than most marriages these days. We never had any kind of ceremony and we dont claim married for anything related to the government though we sometimes refer to each other that way in casual conversation. Like when I was in the hospital the nurses kept calling him Mr. MyLastName. Harmless mistake. He is my life mate in all that matters and a piece of paper isnt going to change anything. I dont want to be married because my first marriage was such a disaster. Also, I will admit, that marriage would mess up my benefits royally and I need my benefits to survive. He doesnt make much money but his job doesnt provide insurance and I need medicaid to pick up my donut hole in Medicare Part D because I have catustrophic medical costs. My prescriptions run over $1500 a month and I dont even get half that much. So I chose long ago that I wouldnt get married. No need. I didnt want to ever go through another divorce and now I really cant get married. It would probably ruin a good relationship anyway. [/QUOTE]
