Renita Then she should call herself "married"
no, because marriage is protected by law. if she is not actually married she should not call herself married but it is "marriage like"
BD1791 If I had known the atmosphere of this forum I probably wouldn't have joined.
the atmosphere here is actually always good, if you don't like something tell the person directly and then something will surely change 🙂
Joh Leave her alone. It is her live and her decision how she handle her relation. I see her commitment to her partner and anything else is not necessary.
If you are married, it can have advantages, also in the legal sense, depending on which country you live in. But that says nothing about how good or bad the relationship is. To harp on the need to marry and not see what kind of relationship she has and acknowledge it is just short-sighted behaviour.
I agree with you 100% (even though I am pro-marriage) 🙂
BD1791 I'm not sure how you see the marriage conversation as anything other than judgemental. In a forum asking for advice on the belt I'm having to defend my beliefs and comfort surrounding marriage.
I get what you mean, but let me tell you that you are a great person who can make decisions about her life. )and @Renita can also be nice if you know her longer 😉 )
Anyway, I think it's great that you're writing openly here 😃
