✉ So, what do you think about marriage?
✉ Like as a general concept.

✉ It definitely does.
✉ And yeah. I can see how that would be a problem. Nobody wants their wedding plans interrupted by an arrest.
✉ I haven't been to many. But I've seen them. You know. Pop culture loves weddings.
✉ My parents were a great example, before my mom died. They had the kind of marriage most people want.
✉ I always wanted something like that.
✉ But I get why you wouldn't, considering what your dad was like.

✉ It's an easy problem to avoid when you're not the type of person anyone wants to marry.
✉ Pop culture only shows you the pretty pictures.
✉ But your parents were probably a good example because they loved each other. That's the part that matters.
✉ The rest is just paper and jewelry. Maybe some tax breaks.
✉ At least that's the way I always saw it.
✉ Mom married dad because that's what you did when a baby was involved. Didn't turn out to be enough reason to stay.
✉ I'm guessing when you pictured something like that it probably wasn't with someone like me.

✉ I think you're not giving yourself enough credit.
✉ I still have a video of my mom and dad's wedding. So that's a real one.
✉ Yeah. They really did.
✉ You're right. The important part is that the people involved love each other. Not the legal stuff.
✉ I'm sorry your parents weren't a good example.
✉ I don't know.
✉ I mean...literally I pictured Iris for most of my life.
✉ But in a less specific sense, I pictured someone I love, who makes me happy...and who I hopefully make them happy too, and who I want to be with for the rest of my life.
✉ You kind of fit the bill there.

	✉ How about we stop dancing around what you're not asking me so you don't get too anxious. ✉ The answer is I'm not ready for something like that. ✉ But it doesn't mean I never will be. ✉ You make me happy and I love you. ✉ I probably don't say it enough. ✉ But I've never been very good at that.

	✉ I'm actually pretty not-anxious about this. ✉ Shocking, I know. ✉ I get it. I do. ✉ And I sort of realized, while we were talking, that at the end of the day, our relationship is the important thing, not labels and paperwork. ✉ I love you too. ✉ And you say it plenty. (Reply to this) (Parent)
