Lots of people don't believe in formal marriage. I've been with my SO for 8.5 years, we've got a kid, a house, and a dog together, and while we've talked about getting married, we're in no rush. We're functionally married, and we don't need a piece of paper from the government to formalise it.

ESPECIALLY after my first marriage ended in divorce after only two years.

May I ask, what led to divorce in your first marriage?

It was totally my fault. I should have dumped her selfish, materialistic arse 8 years before we got married, but instead I gave her what she wanted and she ended up dumping me.
