Why is most of this about family 😬 what about having an amazing beautiful wife who you love to share smiles and all your best and worst moments with. That’s where it’s rly at no?

Ik this is ask men but as a girl, my answer is companionship. That’s it. I grew up kinda not caring for marriage but you soon realize that everyone else gets married and ur alone if u don’t find the right person to spend most of ur time with. Also having a buddy, intimacy, and being cared for/caring for someone feels pretty good

1. If your partner dies it will be extremely hard for you to get their assets or life insurance etc 2. also if your partner was in a serious medical condition where they could not speak for themselves you would have no control to speak for them or be able to add it input 3. In the eyes of the law, bf/gf are not recognized so probably any legal issues as well 4. Probably much more I’m unaware of

Giving someone my last name is pretty dope within itself.

The appeal is in your partner. It’s a feeling that’s hard to imagine until you’ve actually felt it, but once you’re with someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with, that you can’t imagine living without, marrying them sounds like something you want.

If your wife makes more money than you or is the sole earner then it’s appealing otherwise it’s not.

The only exception to this is if she is like the last person in her family. I still wouldn't take it, but I'd be fine with her keeping her last name.

Absolutely tragic🫠 I want my bf to take my last name but I have no idea how to go about asking I’m afraid it’s gonna be a no. Most guys seem to not be willing

I have more of a reason than most to keep my last name, but it's still possible that he'd be open to it.
