Wait a minute why is insurance and travel and everything so much easier when married? I'm single and insurance is cheap and travel is quick and easy, everything else is maddeningly lonely and sometimes I need three hands but I only have two, but other than that what do you mean being married is so much easier?
I meant mostly relative to just being a couple not single.
You can add co-dependents to all types of insurance (health, travel etc.) which is easier and cheaper for married people than it is for a couple. As for travel itself - visa and all travel bureaucracy is always easier for married people. My wife is Thai and much of the world is super racist against Thai passports so we just piggyback of my EU passport in most countries and of her Thai passport in ASEAN countries - it's a real game changer. Not to mention how differently you are being treated by all bureaucratic and security checks. Being married is like living in the fast lane when it comes to bureaucracy.
Interesting how you feel things are much easier for you than for others, your life actually sounds rather complicated 🤭
Sadly the world is still quite complicated for cosmopolitan couples but it's getting much better!
