I kind of doubt that they really care about trying to please the family by this point, to be honest. They've been living together well over a year-and-a-half now, and by this point my parents and my dad's side of the family have given up on throwing a huge fit because they're not married. (My mom's side of the family blinked in surprise for a few weeks, shrugged, and moved on.) If it was this time last year, when half the family wasn't even talking to them, I might think that, but by now... if they were going to get married just to please the family, I think they would have done it long before now.

The vibe I'm getting from Bear is that she's starting to get irritated that Little Brother keeps putting it off (which is a recurring trait with him - if someone doesn't force him to make a decision, he won't make one and will simply stick with the status quo until he's forced to change things up). I mean, they're even referring to each other as husband and wife when being introduced to strangers; as she put it the last time I talked to her "we're married in every way except on paper," and she was ready to make it official months ago.

Ah, okay, fair enough.

And actually, I'm sorry -- I really shouldn't be making assumptions like that when I don't know them. I hope that when they do marry it's a happy day for both of them.

It's fine. :)

*shakes head*

I swear, I want to hit my brother over the head with a cluebat sometimes. He's head-over-heels for Bear (and has been pretty much since the first time they met, back when they were friends and not even dating), yet he keeps putting off getting married even though it's pushing her away.
