Today, my boyfriend of five years finally asked me to marry him. He said, "We could save on taxes if we got married… What do you think?" That was the most romantic thing he's said to me in the last two years. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend of over 2 years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. 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.

21 you are my hero. and 60... uhh, you don't have to watch. Who wants to watch any two people kissing, really?

Wow... I'd guess that his student loans are enormous and he has absolutely no hope of ever paying them off himself. He's probably trying to mooch off you. And #60, what is wrong with you, you intolerant homophobic little ass? I'm not gay, and I would hate watching two gay men making love as much as most others, but I understand and respect their right to their sexuality. That doesn't mean that I want to participate, but we don't have the right to stop them. #21 is entirely right (although I have a nagging suspicion that he got what he said from an episode of Family Guy). And being okay with lesbianism but not with male homosexuality bumps you up from intolerant prick to perverted hypocritical neanderthal. Grow up, or at least try to stop yourself from turning into a hateful, gay-bashing ignoramus.

if being open-minded is the only way, you've become close minded [@63]. anyway, I wouldn't take the loan thing personally. he probably was going to ask, anyway, and just assumed this would be a more convenient time than any.

Hmmm... #64, I guess you're right to some extent. I've become closed-minded to closed-mindedness. Although, I don't really think that open-mindedness is the only morally correct way and I don't believe it should be applied to every situation and notion that arises. But can you say that I'm wrong in what I said?

what an awful reason to get married, are some of you dumb? If you consolidate loans with someone else's name on it, they are responsible for paying them off if you die. Whereas if your name is the only one on it, if you die, nobody is responsible for paying them, they just forgive the loans.

#21: Totally agree!! #60: You're a moron. If he's been with you for 2 years he obviously loves you!! And he's looking out for both of your financial futures, that's awesome. I'd say yes!!!

you've been with the guy for 2 years, so obviously there's more reasons why he wants to get married....he's just adding in an extra benefit for the marriage...
