When You’ve Been Dating Forever, But Aren’t Married
People mistake you for a married couple
A lot of people assume you just got married at some point and they missed the memo. Friends can start to introduce you as “So and so and her husband” and you have to correct them to say, “Oh, he’s my boyfriend—not my husband.” You hate this moment. But if you didn’t correct them, and people found out you weren’t married, somehow it would look as if you had lied.
