Might be a blessing, if they were educated your uncle would be bled dry by now.

See, this is why I'm so reluctant to do the whole marriage thing: I want to be in this relationship because I want to be here, not because I'll get my life ruined legally if I decide it isn't working

Kind if threw that out the window when her parents bought you a house...

There's a formal way of ending things

My sister is cohabiting with her boyfriend

similar situation but instead of my parents footing the downpayerment, she did it herself

because her bf is a broke motherfucker

Oh, it's in her name. I "Rent" it from her at 0 percent markup and get a renter's credit on my taxes at the end of the year.

Don't bother me none.

Should be fine

Are you on the coasts or in the midwest/south etc?

I mean, you like her well enough to live with her.

I think I could afford a down payment in the middle of the US, definitely not where I live now

At the absolute worst, if she breaks up with me (and after 10 years of being in this relationship, I doubt it), I get 90 days to vacate by Minnesota law 👌 😂

Her parents put down 30k on our house

That's a big house out there

Uh, no, no it is not

It is a 2 bedroom 1 bath in downtown Minneapolis

Has she talked or hinted at marriage before? Ten years is a long time and it's not like it would change anything except some health insurance stuff.

was it just 10%, so 300,000?

No, it was 30k on a house that cost 160

fuck man

that's like less than a 20 year mortgage

She used to, until all the friends she was jealous of getting married got divorced in < 3 years

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

Well how long did those cunts know each other?

Marriage lowers the income tax a bunch, but divorce laws sides heavily towards the female spouse

I know like 3-4 older guys living in mobile homes because their wife is entitled to the home

no idea. I've known my gf since the 7th grade, we're 27 now

We're the only bf/gf we've ever had <:hahayes:330459104495665153>

One fella onced lived in San Francisco; found the wrong girl had 2 kids, wife cheated on him with his best friend

You're melting my heart here.

Restraining order, police reports of domestic violence, took his kids, alimony, child support. He had to move out to the California desert

@swigs so this is the power of coastal education.

The desert is much different from SF

Was a 8 year marriage

More like a 2 year marriage, that shit doesn't happen overnight.

Kids were 6 or something

Marriage is more than a document, thinking along the lines of legal contract is why people are miserable today.

I've bought a house, car, adopted a dog, and will probably start trying for children within the next 1 or 2 years, fuck a piece of paper that says I'm commited to it under penalty of poverty

More power to you, though even in cohabitation the man can and does get fucked if things go belly up.
Though it sounds like you have the real shit, just without the government notary.
