well i think households and families are a charade and pointless anyways.
im all about a mate earning their keep by being my peer.
not simply being 2 people who settled with each other because we share the same 30 year goals lol. how loving lame is that.
I share that sentiment. With divorced parents, who have divorced after the divorce from each other, I've never lived in a traditional household. I've lived without it, and I prefer it.
I'd think whoever I settled down with would have to be an equal, like you said, someone who I wouldn't be dragging through life or vice a versa.
Anyways, back on topic then.
