(no subject)
If I ever got married, I would have to have
-my own last name, not his
-a separate bank account
-a separate bedroom, to escape when I needed to
-a separate bed when sleeping next to him didn't feel right
-a separate bathroom that I knew was just mine
-my own friends, not necessarily "mutual" or "co" friends
-my own schedule maintained
-my own car, definitely not something shared
-my own secrets to keep without being prodded or probed
-the knowledge that he was going to try and do something romantic, beforehand
-the opportunity to go out of town alone if I wanted
-the expectation that we are two people, not an "us"
-the ability to walk away from stupid arguments
-privacy and independence, pretty much all the time.
Everything else is fine though.
