Today, my boyfriend of two years asked me to marry him so that we can consolidate our student loans. FML

Not gonna lie, I'd probably smack my guy if he said that... Just ouch. Not even CLOSE to a good reason to get married.

Look on the bright side, at least he cares about the future for you two! XDDD

#8 were you hit in the head with a brick recently?

#4- What is a good reason to get married? If you're not terribly religious, already living together, having sex... why get married outside of financial reasons? So that you can spend all of your money and your parents money on a dress you'll never wear again and a crappy party with shitty food to lord over all your friends? Great.

I hope you do it. Be realistic. If you've been with him for 2 years and things are going good still you probably found a decent dude. If they're not going good and you're still with him then you're an idiot. Plain and simple.

Marriage is great for your finances! So long as you suddenly don't get too clingy, you can keep it for a while even if you break up ;)

Finally, a real FML. It doesn't matter what she says to his question, but the fact that he asked her to marry him for that reason alone makes this an FML.

um... u said no, right? two years isn't long enough anyways.

Bad financial move. If one of you dies, the other will be stuck with the debt as it cant be discharged since both names are on the account and there is a living person available. You never consolidate student loans with a spouse for the above reason and another: if you divorce, you are still resonsible for the debt because it is shared debt. Dont do it sweetie

I agree with 84 and 85. That was actually an intelligent statement. #83, you kind of sound like the dumb bitch... with the exception of you're right about the "not EVERYONE would respond that way" part. You wouldnt know until you're in that situation.
