I posted a thread a while back, saying I was not married and still refered to her family as my in laws.
We have been together for the past 9 years and had never seen the need to get married.
I got a fair bit of disrespect off a few members for not showing my better half or her family "respect" because I have not married her.
You dont need to be married to have a successful relationship. Alot of people get married because they think hell we have been together x number of years we should do "the right thing".
I have seen 99% of my friends who have got married when they were young either cheat or are quiet miserable.
We got engaged last month because we both felt the time was right, but have not set a date yet. We have bought our first home and feel that it is more important to have our home finished as we want it, rather than spent the money on a wedding.
When people ask us about it we often tell them " you can't live in a ring, our house comes first". Both our families are 100% behind us and say we are doing it the right way.
