“I’ve been in a steady relationship for ten years, living together for six. My financial contribution to the household is 10 to 1 compared to my partner’s, and I work longer hours to fulfill our financial commitments. I bought the house, I pay the bills. And yet we are supposed to share in household chores-living more like roommates. If we were married, the only difference is that she would legally own half. And I’m supposed to go for that?”
LT, you better study up on cohabitation laws. With the marriage strike in full force, the greedy corrupt Family Court system needs fresh blood and they’ll soon be punishing you and giving “half” of your stuff to her if you break up. I believe the state of Washington is already doing this.

You’d be foolish to think the courts are going to side with the man.
