Did the same as you a bit over a decade ago. As soon as the paperwork had been signed, she started to change. First she wanted to be on the title of the house, I said hell no. When you have 50% of what I paid for it, I'll consider it. Lost a parent, then other family members and she got worse. Can't say we had a dead bedroom as we separated at my request and I filled for divorce during separation. The new lady has been hounding me for marriage, but I shot that down in the beginning. She's finally stopped as she knows I will have no problem letting her walk. The last three prior demanded marriage, I laughed and said buh bye. Over the past year or two they've said hey more than once.Absolutely. Seeing the other side of the law right now going through my divorce I can't believe how absurdly tight the government is intertwined in the institution of marriage. You hit the nail on the head brother. Even if you don't get legally married, you can still get f!cked with common law, child support, etc. Gotta love that it is still heavily weighted towards the woman. I lucked out with no kids and a three year marriage. Everything is just split 50/50.
Anyone, male or female, who thinks that they will, at some time in their life with have some wealth or a paid off asset would be NUTS to get married. Let's be honest here, dudes want access to her orifices. Females want access to his resources. That is all. Marriage just makes leaving nearly impossible without some serious financial and legal pain on top of the emotional pain.
