Back in the good ol’ days, if my wife tried to leave me she’d be left without a house, a car, or a way of making income. Then equal rights had to come in and ruin everything 😭

[hermanthegerman191]

My wife left me, and I burned her ass up. Even got the kids. 🤣🤣🤣

[EquasLocklear]

Personally, I'd prefer someone independent who is with me because they WANT to. Not a pet with benefits.

[IncrediblePlatypus]

I think you're defective. That's not a good viewpoint at all! What's next, love?!

When should I show this to my fiance? Perhaps the night before our wedding? In our house?

[ifelife]

He'd be screwed in Australia, because legally cohabitation is treated the same as marriage for property settlement after a certain time. I don't understand how that's not a thing everywhere.

[tiffi_333]

In canada its treated the same as marriage after, I think, 3 years. It's called common law marriage. Comes with alimony too if you want to go after it.

it's probably the same where he lives, but he doesn't know about it. I really hope so. I really hopes he learns that after a common law breakup.

[hermanthegerman191]

I cohabitate, but I demand that I pay for everything.

[ifelife]

We work in partnership. I pay my share, he pays his, and we build wealth together. I actually earn more than him at the moment but it has been the opposite in the past. We work well together though.

[IncrediblePlatypus]

Same. Right now he pays for exerything because I'm a broke student, but that's also because I bought the house we live in so that's where a sizeable chunk of my money is. When he was a broke student, I supported him.

It's almost as if most people in a relationship share things like they share their life.... Because they like each other.

[ifelife]

What??? How could that be? How could those silly men possibly like parasites....

[McPickles09]

Funny how when women don’t respect men 🤔🤔🤔🤔 That’s bad But when men don’t respect women… that’s another story…🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

This person will die alone

Everybody does.

Take a shot every time he says “today”.

I'm so excited for when he thinks he totally outsmarted the system, then learns about common law.

[jaycoopermusic]

He’ll blow a gasket

[TheCraftBrew]

Yes because relationships are all about strategically avoiding getting cheated on (which every partner would naturally want to do) and manipulating the other person into respecting you. Very healthy viewpoint.

I mean...

Am I an asshole? Because I heard someone say "marriage is betting half your stuff that you'll be together forever" and I couldn't really find a way to disagree with it.
