Not married for 7 years next week

nothotforit · 28/10/2006 22:29

Happily not married 6yrs. But i hate the term 'partner' as it's so ambiguious, so i tend to say 'my husband' or get called 'The wife' which sounds awful!
Parents keep pestering us to get hitched, but mum's interference has put us off so far! (also would hate to lose my very rediculious double barrelled name!) and dont really like dh's surname!(but would nevber tell him!) oof!

Dp and I are never quite sure when to say that we got together as it was all a bit on/off at first. Prob fairest to say not married for 3 years.

well done all of you!!

13 years. Would love to have got married but DP is VERY anti marriage as he thinks it is a religious institution and is anti religion and will not back down! Never mind, after 13 years I'm kind of over the marriage thing and we see eye to eye on all other important things so can't really ask for more.
