Hello Hello

helloblueeyes · January 2012

So...Hi.

I thought i would introduce myself as i have been lurking for a week or two and was thinking about posting.

My BF and I have been having some serious talks about marriage and eloping due to things in our life. I started poking around TK for some info and ended up here.

We are both 25, been together almost a year and are extremely nerdy. I work in HR, he is a mechanic and goes to school. I love potatoes, Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Beer (i like wine too, and get to sample and enjoy a bit of both due to work).

Anything else you wanna know just ask! (But as i'm off work in 10 min i may not answer till i get home)

So... What were you testing on the December 2014 board?

DanieKA · January 2012

Hi and welcome! You don't have to get into details if you don't want to, but why the possible elopement? Is it because you want to have a small wedding (just the two of you, perhaps) or is it to escape some family drama? Just wondering.

</div><div>Even if we were to have a wedding it would be small, neither of us are real big on weddings or being the center of attention. Plus BF has some serious family drama, that we try to stay out of. But the reason we have been talking about it due to health insurance. BF has been having some health issues and doesn't have insurance. My work pays for my health insurance and if we were married he would be covered and no longer going into massive debt. </div>

That's my favorite! Only the originals, though. The newer three episodes weren't that great, IMO.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Hello Hello : Don't get married for health insurance. It's a nice plus, but I think it's totally the wrong way to decide it's time for the relationship to take the next step. Do you live together and does your work cover domestic partners for health insurance? My job does. To cover me, it's $12/month. If I wanted to cover me and FI, then it would cost me something like $100/month - which is much less than the plan would cost without getting it through an employer. The benefits for FI would be taxed by the federal government (they would add the cost of the plan to my earned income, and tax me based on that amount, rather than my salary), but still. It would be cheaper.

</div><div>We do live together but cannot get covered unless actually married (I did look into it).</div><div>We haven't actually gone through with it yet because we haven't worked out all the emotions involved in the decision. It would cost us the least amount to do it that way, my employer covers all the health care costs for me, we would have to pay for his but the tax break of being married would make up for about half that amount. </div><div>
</div><div>It's not an idea we are 100% sold on but it's something we were looking into. Neither of us take the decision lightly and want to be fully aware of every consequence (emotionally, financially, etc.. ) that comes along with it before actually going through with it.
