Carpe Mortem

Marriage was originally a religious institution. I know that technically you can get married and it's not religious nowadays, but I like to make stances about things sometimes. Plus the whole metaphorical idea of losing myself. I like my independence. I don't want something marking me as belonging to anyone, never wanna change my name in the slightest as a minor point. Don't want who I am tied to another person on the record. Weddings are expensive, divorces are expensive, just not my bag man.

And regrettably the tax breaks aren't what they used to be, depending on your relationship. If one partner makes more, it is beneficial, but when both make about the same it's actually best to file separately.

It's a shame how marriage is the only way most people seem to deem a relationship 'serious'. It's also a shame how retarded the word 'boyfriend' sounds, I feel like a 16 year old and try my best to say 'partner' without sounding like a secretive lesbian.
