You have to do what makes you happy. No one else can tell you what that is. No "marriage" is 100% safe, so no matter who you're with there's always some chance it may not work out in the long run. You have to be willing to accept those terms.

Maybe you should; but just take it slowly, and do not combine assets/bank accounts at all.

I know I'll be hated for this, but just don't understand the concept of gay marriage. Why? For the economic benefits? Can't you just commit yourself to a loving, happy, wonderful partnership? If it doesn't work out, which most don't, you part as friends and that is that.

Why this burning desire to be like the breeders is beyond me.

I guess the biggest benefit is financial/tax/property related, and the fact that gay marriage gives the spouse certain rights if one partner becomes seriously ill or dies they wouldn't benefit from without gay marriage. We all read the horror stories of some gay man or woman's partner becoming critically ill and hospitals refusing to allow the partner visitation because they weren't legally family. And the stories of someone dying and the family swooping in and taking everything out of the home they shared claiming it all belonged to THEIR relative.

Oh trust me, I get your drift. Other than the legal benefits I just can't see it. But you and I are from a much different era than the younger set around here. We have much different history and experience to draw from. We're from the "variety is the spice of life" mold. :lol

We have not figured out what exactly is behind it except that it is a gold mine for (divorce) lawyers.

When we look at those who are rabidly in favor of it we know that it is NOT a good thing.

And you are correct, it is totally un-necessary. If you want to love and totally commit to your beloved, and either leave in your will or give outright everything you own, you can do it perfectly properly and legally without 'gay marriage'.

Very easily prevented by proper legal/estate planning.
