I don't mean to judge, we all have our deal breakers, but do people LITERALLY get divorced over HOUSEWORK? Are these those married couples that have never cohabited prior to the wedding? I get grumpy about housework every now and then with my partner, but I can't think what state he would have to leave the house in…

"When you get married, you are basically giving the government a licence to regulate certain aspects of your relationship AND also make profit off of you if/when the relationship ends." Ugh. This is so true and creepy as!!

11 years with my partner and about to tie the knot in January - we have a healthy strong relationship with no infidelities, lots of interests/friends in common, but also do our own thing from time to time. I don't think that marriage will change any of that, so I think we "count" for the purposes of your question even…

Um, so why exactly get married then?

You'll see I have been confused by two completely unrelated twitter/engagement stories in the one dirt bag. Give me a break, I had just woken up.

Too many Twitter/engagement stories in one Dirt Bag. I can't keep up. :)

Ah see I'm talking about Kelly Clarkson! "Now she tells us about her engagement to talent manager Brandon Blackstock, stepson of Reba McEntire, on Twitter." My bad.

PS: "Kidney failure surgery" does not sound life-saving at all. :P

No - I've now read on another comment that the actual proposal was over Twitter, it's just that this article doesn't actually say that's what happened. I don't follow KC or particularly care, so that's why, with no knowledge of it beyond this article, I didn't realise that's what had happened.

I didn't get from this that the actual proposal was on Twitter, just the sharing of said proposal was.

Yeah is pretty trippy for Disney, you need to check out some Studio Ghibli stuff (which is technically Disney now anyway).

Yeah and as she is a go-go dancer by trade, I am surprised her views on female sexuality are so conservative! I always thought she was non-judgy and one of those semi-feminist-without-even-knowing-it types. This strikes me as a very inconsistent.

eeeeeeewwww I found the first one where the reporter is stroking the girls hair to be incredibly inappropriate. I thought that was a parent or somebody until I heard her posing questions. Creepy as shit!!

Please, call me Saddam.

Or that blatant Mario Kart rip off a while back...

Humblebrag?

I think you mean you could not BE more excited?

I did this too - I was doing a pretend research project for a research paper and translated a pretend survey permission form into Hindi (and Mandarin) using Translate. An Indian classmate read it and said it actually made sense. I didn't think it would, I just thought it would look cool!

Adult friendships are so much harder!!

Yeah I always get people thinking I must be gay when I use the word partner. Not that it matters, but I'm not.
