This is pretty much how my relationship with my SO started. I just came out of a bad relationship where I was cheated on and met her, and told her in no uncertain terms I was looking for nsa fun and nothing else.

That was in 2008. Never married but still (happily) together with a 13yo son.

You were looking for National Security Agency fun?

You'd never guess how fun it is to read every Americans messages!

I genuinely wonder what they mean by nsa now

No strings attached

Me and my most recent partner also started similarly. Both had harsh breakups about at the same time, got into a FWB relationship, on date 4 I think we were both like "this is clearly not a FWB relationship". We talked over what we wanted to do and both decided being partner-partners sounded good. Shortly after they invited me to join them out of country for a week and I was like fuck it, this will either go very well or very poorly. It went very well. Now my damaged self is trying to figure out when or if I should tell them how much I'm falling for them

Tell them when you’re about to leave at the end of the weekend. 🙂

I've done similar before x.x

Listen, they're just casually starting a family. No competitive ambitions.

Not everyone prescribes to the concept of state marriage. If they're good without it who cares.

I'm not saying "go marry," I'm saying to consider it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Yes I'm certain after 13 years together and a child they were just waiting for a stranger on the internet to suggest they consider marriage.

There is no world where they haven't discussed this topic already.

Honestly, because of money mostly. And since we only have one son he's automatically sole heir so marriage wouldn't change that.

Should I come into a few thousand unexpectedly I wouldn't mind putting a ring on it at all. My intentions remain the exact same either way.
