re: #281 ArmyWife

I didn’t say they did, I said it can be rectified through other measures and doesn’t require “marriage”.

BTW, I have to get a POA drawn up every time my husband is deployed so handle his affairs, so don’t be too comfortable that being married is a panacea for all issues - it isn’t. We have separate credit card accounts and they don’t give a flying fig that I’m married to him.

Anyhow, you have your beliefs, and I respectfully disagree. I am hopeful others who feel the same as you respectfully disagree with me rather than being ugly about it. I am a Pollyanna type, though, so I’ll probably be disappointed.

If the shoe was on the other foot, whether it was that instead of the way that it is, that gays got such automatic considerations that straight couples didn’t, or if you and your partner were gay rather than straight and had to face the hassles yourselves because of the way you were naturally born rather than NOT having to deal with them because of the way you were naturally born, I think you’d feel differently.
