Hey Buddy, How's Married Life?


This question bothers me. So does it's newfound place in my life. All sorts of people ask all the time. 

My old lady and I have cohabited for close to five years. Our marriage ceremony six months ago did not change that.

My old lady and I have been monogamous since our relationship began, if that's what you're asking, you pervert.

My old lady and I respect each other and try our best to communicate our differences, to understand each other's perspective when communication gets lost...

a church ceremony & party thereafter has not changed that, either. 

Living with and loving another human that loves you back is an amazing experience, one that should be available to any two humans. I'm disgusted by the news from North Carolina today...

and remain bothered by people who assume my life magically conformed into some template because of a ceremony and a party. 

Marriage is simply a Public Acknowledgement of what already exists, and it's going to exist with or without that acknowledgement.
