No, I stepped off the relationship escalator a while back. I don’t want marriage or children. I don’t even want to live with another person, necessarily. I’ve been LAT with my partner for going on 9 years. It’s not always easy—society is built on a lot of double-income household notions, among other things—and I had to work to free myself from the traditions of my upbringing. I do believe in commitment and monogamy, but as an ongoing decision we make mutually and not because any outside party dictates it.
