Suki- The discourse on this forum seems to be generally supportive, so upon first glance, the first sentence of this response offended me. I'm sure that was not your intention. I certainly didn't come here to have anyone blow smoke up my you-know-what, and I do appreciate your perspective.
Having said that, I agree with you, and I am more than thankful that we do not own property together, have kids, share finances, etc.
