You should ask how you've put up with her

I've got my Boomer head on here but if you have kids I'd recommend that you eventually get a piece of paper.
I've witnessed 3x families go through a lot of hassle because the children's Dad wasn't married to the Mum and it took court cases etc for them to get what was rightfully theirs.
Perhaps things have changed now and it's easier.

We've been together for 11 years, but not married.

I've got her on extended probation.

Like a mass-probation, if you will.

I'm willing to be divorce is worse

13 years together. Neither of us want a big wedding, but she is really starting to nag about eloping somewhere, will prob do it next year.

Apart from anything else, we've both got fairly sizeable assets (wahey!) so sorting out the legal side of things needs doing.

30 years.

First time we met, she fell for for me instantly.
She was attractive, sincere, truthful, loyal, genuine...oh, and had a nice pair of knockers.

Second time we met; I proposed and got married after 4 weeks

I see you realised 4 years before tying the know wasn't enough, so doubled it for your most recent

I have to ask. Why?

I don't really understand marriage as it is but I'm curious as to why people repeatedly marry.

Genuinely interested, not being judgey.

I think we're on 15 years, I started to lose count after 7+ Not married and 2 kids, so eventually we'll end up getting married.
