Automated Attack Monkeys, Scalpel Mines, & Acid

I disagree with the "til death do us part" stuff. I think there's too much emphasis placed on staying together forever. If it works out, great! If it doesn't, then so what? I think this emphasis makes people stay in abusive relationships out of obligation to that oath and the mainstream definition of marriage.

Also, I personally could not live with a partner again. This has nothing to do with the partner themselves, but the fact that I like having freedom and space to be alone if I want to. Living with someone for 5 years under the same roof nearly broke me, regardless of whether that person was a jerk or not.

If I had married Mike, this would have been the living arrangement- our own spaces.
According to the traditional view of marriage, you buy a house together and live under the same roof or you are a "weirdo."

Who cares what the situation is if it makes people happy.
