Therefore, I have a question for everyone who is currently living with an SO. To wit: How do you deal with parents who ask you when you're getting married every time you see them? I assume that if you're living with an SO, you're not living under your parents roof. Please correct me if this isn't a valid assumption. That is my situation, and it's really becoming something of a drag. I haven't spoken to my folks in about a month because I'm tired of hearing it over and over again with assorted variations. "Don't you think that marriage would be better than living together?" "You've been dating/living together for 3 years. When are you going to get married?" "It's cheaper to get married than it is to live together." "How are you going to explain to your kids that you have different last names?" "When are you going to make me a grandmother/grandfather?" "Marriage isn't as bad as you think it is. You don't know what you're missing." Tell me, someone, how do you respond to any/all of this? It's becoming a royal pain. Red
