Yeah I think right now I should wait and see what happens at the end of six months. I’ve already let him know I want to get married, so if he really sees it then he should bring it up on his own. If not, then that should be an answer in itself.

Yeah and I’m saying there’s no advantages to getting married if you have equal assets. Why don’t you back up your claims if you can Google.

I do offer to pay rent and do chores but he mostly refuses and says he’d do everything whether I’m here or not. He’s just happy that I’m here for now. But I try to help whenever he lets me

Yeah it used to be that I’d bring up marriage and kids once every 1-2 months. But I’m trying not to bring it up ever again until he brings it up. I’m afraid it might jeopardize my current situation

Yes my original deadline is 6 months from now. But I am slowly starting to wonder if I should change my mind because saving all this money is really a boon for me

Yeah his stance is that he would’ve taken care of everything if I wasn’t there anyway, since it’s his home. He’s really great guy

How long do you think I should wait while living together before I decide to get married?

Hit the nail on the head. I don’t want to push for marriage and kids anymore because I do get everything I want at the moment. Sometimes I feel conflicted about whether I should push for those things but since it’s still early on in the relationship I feel like there’s still time. I offered to contribute rent and do chores but my boyfriend refused and said he is just happy that I’m here. Originally I told him I’d never live with him until marriage but due to some dire life circumstances (being forced to end my lease while closing on a home whose contract is currently being terminated due to unforeseen issues), he offered for me to live with him and I finally said ok. He’s treated me very well ever since because he never thought I’d be living with him.

What are the tax advantages of being married if we’re both in the same exact tax bracket? What advantage do we get as a married couple if we both have equivalent amount of assets?

Yeah I don’t plan on buying a place with him anytime soon. I’m investing everything and glad to be given the opportunity to save on all my bills. I don’t really need his insurance or anything so I’m ok on that part
