If you've been living with your boyfriend/girlfriend for 15+ years...
Why bother getting married now? Asking for a friend.

I wouldn’t live with someone if marriage wasn’t part of the deal. But a good friend married her boyfriend after 13 years when he became seriously ill and she discovered that even though she knew everything that he wanted done, she had less right to determine his care than his adult children did. Luckily, he recovered, but after that she agreed to marry him.
@bijouxbroussard This. It’s why gay people have fought so hard for the right. I don’t care what we call it. I just don’t want to be legally excluded from my partners last moments. 🖤
