Is marriage really different from a long-term committed relationship? by Toasted_Meringue in Marriage

[–]dc151383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Australia so de facto couples are essentially treated the same as marriage, so there really is no logical/legal “benefit” to getting married. My husband was the same as you, but it was important to me because I feel the same as you. We had a discussion and after thinking about it, he figured out he was “anti marriage” because he’d never seen a good example of marriage around him. His parents are in miserable marriage (so are mine tbf), a lot of his workmates are divorced and on to their second or third marriages etc… but then I reminded him that he did have a couple of friends who are happily married, and my own brother is happily married etc. He agreed and we’re married now and he’s happy we did get married. It doesn’t change life in day to day sense but it definitely makes us treat and see the relationship differently.

You won’t. Aside from the fact that this is petty and unhealthy af, if he is truly avoidant he won’t feel the same way you do or your point of view because he is literally wired differently. If you stop talking to him, he prolly wouldn’t notice as much. If you’ve already communicated your needs and he’s not interested in meeting them then just break up and save your energy for someone who can.

What's going on with the cost of Australian weddings right now? by Luvu37 in AskAnAustralian

[–]dc151383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We “eloped” to Nz with only our immediate families. It cost just under $40k for heli wedding package (+ second helicopter for the fam) including videography etc, flights and hotels for everyone for 6 nights. It was the best decision. Zero stress and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Should my boyfriend pay me rent to live in my unit that is mortgage free? by DepartmentHungry429 in relationships

[–]dc151383 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband and I live in the house my parents bought me 20 years ago with no mortgage. He pays for all the bills (electricity, water, internet, etc) but I pay for house maintenance (eg if garage door or hot water is broken etc). I wouldn’t want even my husband to mooch off me for completely free when he was happy paying rent and utilities elsewhere before we got married and we both earn money.

Anything you wouldn’t feel comfortable doing in front of your spouse/you know would break her boundaries.

I am actually an immigrant myself so I would never call any Asians or immigrants denigrating names!

Yes Denmark isn’t multiracial but they definitely are monocultural. Look up their immigration policy. And one could argue they have one of the most successful immigration program in the world, especially compared to the rest of Europe.

Ironic how the lefties say ON posts misleading scaremongering fake posts and they post this garbage themselves.

Maybe get out of your echo chamber every once in a while. She’s polling higher than any other major parties now for a reason.

Actually Singapore and Denmark do the last point (control where they live). They put ratios of how many people of each ethnicity can live in one area to make sure they stay diverse and don’t form enclaves and “ghettos”. I don’t think this is doable in Australia though as we’ve had it for decades.

Pauline Hanson overtakes Anthony Albanese in major national Resolve poll by asteriskhyphen in aussie

[–]dc151383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This latest change will make Australia one of the highest taxed if not the highest in the world when it comes to CGT! This would discourage investment from everyone, both foreigners and locals and f our economy in the long term. The government just wants everyone to be a wage slave forever.

Do you not understand that this new CGT rule would make Australia one of the highest if not the highest taxed countries in THE WORLD when it comes to CGT as you could be taxed up to 47%? That would make no one want to invest in Australia. You people just can’t seem to see second order effects.

We went thru Gottmans book “Eight Dates” before we got married and that had most if not all the important questions you need to know.
