“John, sorry to hear you’re still married to that shrew Maggie. I know you’re keeping it together for the kids’ sake, but it really must be hell to live with an unforgiving judgmental harpie like her. The therapy really doesn’t seem to be working.”
Who’s John? 
On a related note…you know, just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean nobody bothers you about “settling down” & all that marriage stuff. Au contraire. My BF & have been living together for a year (we’ve been seeing each other for 2 1/2 years.) We’re really happy. And…(hold onto your hats)…we have NO IMMEDIATE DESIRE to get married! The way I see it, I don’t want kids & I don’t want his money, so what do I want to get married for? I never dreamed about a big elaborate Cinderella-style wedding & I’ve got 2 diamond rings already. (I bought them for myself.) Things are great just the way they are. Can’t the 'rents just be happy that I’m happy & not bug out about this?
Stella, the Riddles parents lived in sin for 3 and a half years before deciding to tie the knot. This was in the mid seventies, and my father comes from a VERY Catholic family. And guess what? They’ve been together for over 22 years. So I’m pro-longterm living in sin.
Next time the famn damily gets on your ass about making a honest man out of your boyfriend, tell them that you wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes without trying them on and doing that strange bounce that people do, and you wouldn’t marry someone without making sure he’s capible of leaving the toilet seat down. Feh.
