Marriage of convenience

Today, my serious boyfriend was talking about how he wants to get engaged and married. I was really happy, until he said he's excited mainly for the tax benefits. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

EVERYONE likes tax benefits, I´m sure he was just joking if he is serious boyfriend

i hate when comments get moderated. i get way more annoyed by moderated comments than i do by comments that are obnoxious/offensive/inappropriate (or break some other rule they moderate comments for). Who cares? I think we can handle it. But to the OP... the tax benefits are the the only reason i would get married. you can love each other, live together, make a lifetime commitment, have kids etc. without actually getting married.

Your comment : Where I'm from the tax bennefits suck if you're married. It's more of a bonus if you're NOT married..

After being together for 20 some years, we decided to get married for just that reason. So, he's thinking ahead, for your future. He's okay!

WHAT tax benefits? My tax benefits went out the window as soon as I got married. I used to get money back every year. Now I owe every year, despite always increasing the amount of money taken out of my paycheck.
