Cori and I have been together for 6 years (maybe 7???I am bad with dates)

anyway

we are not married

nor do we have any plans on getting married

we have a house together (in both our names)
a child together
vehicles together

people refer to us as married

we just...aren't

our commitment is the same and we pledged before God to remain true to each other. We just, literally, do not have the paper

it felt really unnecessary

maybe someday
maybe not

but I am sure not going to worry about it

by the way
I have a beautiful ring, engraved with a beautiful message

smile
