When I first became a LBS I used to say that I was definitely someone who wanted to be married. Now I am not so sure.
Part of me feels that the point of marriage is to have a family, raise the kids, etc.
I have a friend who is old enough to be my mother (almost)...She was a LBS about 25 years ago. She tells me she never completely got over it...but soon after the bomb she went to live in France for a year! Talk about GAL!
Anyway, she met the man she now lives with. They have been together 20 years. They have durable power of attorney for each other. They take care of each other and in nearly every way that I can think of, they are "married". Just no marriage certificate or church wedding.
I really like my own space and my own life. I do hope to have a special r with someone tho...Just don't ask me to do the drudgery. I don't want to be a nursemaid.
Just my .02
