    yeah whatever. you know, we all know that she wants to get married, but you haven't had the decency to do it. she isn't going to make a fuss now, because she has waited so long - and if she threatens and makes a fuss, she will feel that she is "desperate". and if she walks away, she will be a single mother of two. very marketable!

    No, you have sold her down the river, all because of your fear of commitment.

    Well done.

    You really are a nasty, pathetic, vile piece of work.

    yes, it discriminates against non married couples - GOOD.

    biggest load of twaddle ive read on here, and thats saying something!!!

    why do some idiots think a signing a bit of paper(marriage) suddenly makes you a better parent. Marriage is an out dated institution that people only do because its the "done" thing and it should have been phased out years ago. If marriage didn't exist would it be invented??? i doubt it.

    this thread is ridiculous. there is no argument to be had. the institution of marriage is far better than no one being married, and having a transient society. those that claim they are committed to their partner and have a house/mortgage/kids etc cannot offer one sensible argument to not getting married other than the stupid "its only a bit of paper" - then so what, get it, if that is all it is - or they can't afford a party - which is not required to be married.

    Please tell me why it is better not to be married? why is it better? i am really intrigued.

    No, what I am saying is that if people feel forced into marriage before they are ready, they are more likely to end up divorced.

    I thought I had made my point obvious. :confused:

    But surely Sir Humphrey the decision to marry or not isn't going to be swayed by a tax code.
