Why isn't there a "married" status at FunAdvice?

For the sake of being clear as to relationship status, why don’t we add this?

Besides, it’s a good counter against would be pervs here - don’t you agree?

Here’s the rub (if you’ve been married in the states, you should understand this…if you’re young, consider it a life lesson).

You get tax *benefits, many times, for many income brackets to get married…therefore, it’s not a state of relationship, it’s a state of fiscal improvement :)

In one state I know of if you live together for seven years, splitting up even if you never get married equals divorce proceedings, because the courts consider it a common law marriage…so, even if you never have a ceremony, you end up in the same legal position.

As a result (and considering we’re a global site…) what exactly should be the difference between a seriously committed relationship and being married? I for one don’t understand the difference, other than taxes…which has nothing to do with love or commitment.

Answer #2

yeah - but for other girls who are in a committed relationship but aren’t married, it can get kinda confusing… especially for the married ones - they get approached here every now and then…

Let’s all propose to FunAdvice to add it…

Answer #3

Answer #4

Answer #5

Haha, I’ll bring it up with Ericson and J…

Answer #6
