The only thing that has changed since the higher marriage rate past to now is no-fault divorce and acceptance of extramarital sex.
It's really not as effective at all
Common law is a terrible way to define partnership
Marriage is a good thing. Too bad no fault divorce ruined it.
especially if it follows how Canada sees it
nah I just care about the possession after break up not the marriage itself
Socially speaking
gtg bois
work time
>live together for six months
>common law married now
Common law is "better than nothing"
>still have no-fault divorce
Statistically speaking
>men still get fucked either way
yeah
But nothing is literally scraping the bottom of the barrel
I thought we wanted higher standards than that
Tbh in Canada you're encouraged to not move in until you're sure about the other person
Because of common law partnerships
ye
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
