Marriage of convenience

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my serious boyfriend was talking about how he wants to get engaged and married. I was really happy, until he said he's excited mainly for the tax benefits. FML

i hate when comments get moderated. i get way more annoyed by moderated comments than i do by comments that are obnoxious/offensive/inappropriate (or break some other rule they moderate comments for). Who cares? I think we can handle it. But to the OP... the tax benefits are the the only reason i would get married. you can love each other, live together, make a lifetime commitment, have kids etc. without actually getting married.

Maybe he just doesn't believe in marriage, I know I don't.

Well, you've already been together for a while so why else would he get excited?

whats a non-serious boyfriend?

One whose using you for the moment. Not planning on dedicating his life to you. Not dedicated to being loyal to you. Not sure whether you're the one for him. You know, generally not serious about the relationship.
