This sub is so traditionalist, best relationship ive ever had neither of us want marriage. We just stay together because we want to.

I mean, nice for you, but if others want to get married just let them?

Why the need to call OP out for wanting to marry?

Is it not traditionalist? And i call it out because i see couple memes here that remind me of the most toxic relationships i had lol, i think it's important to just throw that out there, there's nothing wrong with not wanting marriage. A lot of young people feel shame and guilt when they cant replicate what they see in tv ads and stuff and now that im old enough i can confidently tell them, if you don't like it or feel it you're totally fine.

Edit: Plus the consumerism of buying a ring, like i guess yeah i think it's good for young people to know there's an alternative to this.

I genuinely, up until this comment, thought this was about buttplugs.

Also I agree with you, fuck the institution of marriage altogether

Just statistically most relationships will be monogamous cishet.

And statistically most marriages end in divorce
