Yeah.

As long as you're his landlord and as long as you're his bank, there is always going to be inequality in your romantic relationship.

Okay.

There's no way around that.

Even you saying he doesn't like the word rent.

Of course not.

Because it's a daily reminder that y'all are unequally yoked.

And the more you talk about how hard you've worked, you've been with him for a decade.

So you leading the question with how hard you've worked infers to two just random dudes you're calling, he hasn't worked that hard.

I know, I know.

But it's the posture with which you're entering into this.

And so the reason that we tell everybody to get married is twofold.

One, your individual stuff becomes y'all's stuff.

And if you're not ready to do that, then the romantic relationship you think you have is not what you think it is.

After nine freaking years.

The other reason we tell people to get married, besides the spiritual stuff, like take the Sunday school stuff and move it aside, is because there is a legal separation baked into that.

Meaning, there is a contract you all sign.

And you're protected.

And so...

I can't in good faith tell you to do this thing when I know the data, and this is secular psychological data, I mean economic data, says if y'all get married and your stuff and his stuff becomes y'all's stuff, it ROIs in a spectacular way because you have two people hanging on to the same anchor point and allows two people to take bigger swings at life with margin, right?
