The Marriage Bubble(s)

(I have been telling my boyfriend about a good friend’s engagement—in all its cheesiness. They have been dating just as long as my boyfriend and I.)

Boyfriend: “Yeah, I’m never going to do that. In all honesty, I’d only want to get married for the insurance and tax benefits.”

Me: “And the wedding gifts.”

Boyfriend: “I’m not worth marrying anyway. Don’t marry me for me; marry me for something bigger. We’d have to have a house first, so you couldn’t leave me. A house with a jacuzzi.”

Me: “I’d marry you for a jacuzzi.”
