ye

which is fine as a counter measure I guess

still, a pretty damn low bar though

But yeah they're statistically more stable+better for kids than nothing, but worse than marriage proper

It's also kind of a creepy practice though

yeah

I just find it weird how you're supposedly defacto common law partnered without any significant action from either party

Like there should be something both parties of the partnership has to do in order to acknowledge the transition at least

Not just "lol you've been fucking for six months, done deal"

>fucking
You can just be roommates

wait what

Does that apply even to that?

So let's say... as an example, me and @Salacious Swanky Cat move into the same house in Canadialand

We live in the same place for six months

Not involved in any fashion

We're common law married even then O___o?

Oh it's province dependent

So it still happens?

Holy fuck that is frightening

I see your point about the move to encourage isolationism now

In Newfoundland it has to be "conjugal", in Manitoba you have to have a child

Conjugal meaning you're fucking?

I assume so

I think they just take your word for it

That's pretty frightening lol

Look at the example in the blog post lol

pretty sure we still have common law marriages here in the states

I at least know Georgia did back when I was born

afaik common law marriages at least requires the blessing, if you can call it that, of a local judge, and a contract to which both parties agree

>most beautiful examples

what in the actual fuck

@Beemann that example is fucking retarded

what in the actual shit lol

Lel

To be fair, might be missing context but still

yeah but the material facts they used to decide that case

holy shit

Yup

>they don't live together
>literally cheating on other people while _legit married_
>court considers them spouses

what the fuck Canada
