My point is that once we start allowing domestic partnerships for insurance and benefits someone could claim their cat, or their computer or anything. I could be living with someone I am not dating (for instance let's say a gay man)and claim him as my partner. I'm not making light of domestic partnerships just that it can be a downward spiral. That's why I have no issue with allowing gay partners to claim each other because in most states they still can't marry, but do with heterosexual partners who do have the choice to marry.
Kelly... You realize this is the same tired argument that people use against gay marriage right? Canada has been recognizing domestic partnerships, hetero and homosexual, for time untold. They have to provide documentation they've been living together for the required amount of time with leases, joint bills etc etc.

I assure you no one up there is partnered with cats or computers.

The current Canadian law regarding heterosexual partnerships (also known as common law marriage):
According to the Canada Revenue Agency, as of 2007, a common-law relationship is true if at least one of the following applies:

the couple has been living in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 continuous months;
the couple are parents of a child by birth or adoption; or
one of the couple has custody and control of the other partner's child (or had custody and control immediately before the child turned 19 years of age) and the child is wholly dependent on that person for support.

Well I'm glad they have to prove it, but I still don't approve. For me it's more of a financial issue because they can get married but choose not to, unlike gay partners. I know not everyone believes in marriage but still then they shouldn't get the same benefits as marriage. Also, as a single woman I don't think it's fair that both married couples and unmarried couples would get benefits I don't. I'm sympathetic to unmarried couples, after all I've lived with a man and my uncle lived with his girlfriend for years until he married her on her deathbed, but still unmarried couples aren't the same as married couples.

I realize I am far more conservative on this issue than most but have seen so many things that have shown me marriage is far more preferable to unmarried. I would never live with a man again unless we were married or engaged and planning a wedding date. I have nothing against heterosexual unmarried couples I just think if they have been together a long time it makes sense to get married.

You don't have to approve. It's not your relationship, and personal opinions don't and shouldn't dictate the law.

What benefits do married/partnered couples get that you would need as a single person, except for tax breaks?

Kellydancer
03-04-2012, 04:47 PM
I don't care if others have unmarried relationships, by approve I mean that they shouldn't get any tax breaks or benefits as married couples do. I do oppose tax breaks for married couples though too. I don't feel employers should be offering opposite sex domestic benefits like insurance because the couple could marry and refuses to.

I don't feel employers should be offering opposite sex domestic benefits like insurance because the couple could marry and refuses to.

In the USA at least, the government provides tax breaks for married couples primarily under the assumption they will have children, which supports the society as a whole. The government wants you to procreate, which is part of the reason for the gay marriage debate. I didn't know this until it was recently brought to my attention recently- not that I agree with it, but it is what it is.

Insofar as Canadian law goes, it's all about equality and choice. You shouldn't force a heterosexual couple to marry any more than you should force a homosexual couple to get a domestic partnership.

In the case of insurance, I believe if someone is a serious partner of yours (like in Charlie's case, they've been together 4.5 years) there is no reason that they shouldn't be able to work together to provide their household with the best circumstances they can. Their relationship is what works for them. I stand firm in my choice to marry and why it works for me... but I also stand firm in their choice NOT to marry and do what works for them. WHY it works for them is none of my business, nor is it the government's or the insurance company's. I do however, feel that proof of relationship should be provided to deter people who WOULD attempt to scam the system.. and as I point out in my previous post, it's a system that's worked and been in place in Canada and other various countries for many, many years.

If you think about it, even marriages can be scrutinized in the same way; I personally know three couples who are married out of convenience, and one couple doesn't even co-habitate.

Kellydancer
03-04-2012, 05:17 PM
I would agree there are a lot of marriage scams but I just think there are probably more scams in unmarried partnerships than married ones. Like I said for me it's strictly financial. I don't care how people live but when I am forced to pay for that choice through paying more in taxes or insurance or whatever then it bothers me. It has nothing to do with anything else in my case.

Saw a friend for the first time since he ran into me at the club a while ago and he had all the questions... he said he wasn't saying it was easy but said "but it's not work, is it." /:O Considering he's been to a club only once, I think, I'm not sure how he thinks he knows anything?

It sucks indeed but it is pretty much the same everywhere. Most companies pay for most of the cost of these plans, so they have a lot of reasons to try to limit who is covered. Also, any two people can claim that they are in a domestic partnership and, while your situation is obviously valid, there are plenty of people out there who would probably try to take advantage if companies subsidized it for anyone who single employees claimed were domestic partners.

Beyond the insurance issue though, there are lots of other ways in which the decision not to get married will limit your partner's rights. If you should become incapacitated and need immediate medical decisions made, he would probably not be allowed to make those decisions. The same holds true in other venues where spouses are viewed as the next of kin or otherwise authorized to act for each other. And if you have kids, hospitals and schools generally treat unmarried Dads as third-class citizens and often will not let them sign anything relating to the child.


Yep, I know. :(

I don't know much about your relationship, charlie, but there's ways around that kind of crap.

Just involves lots of tedious paperwork.

I don't believe in legal marriage either.

I think you are taking this way too seriously amd I understand where you are going, but employers can't be forced to pay for every employees choices. That means less money for other things, like say hiring people. The fact of the matter is heterosexual couples have the choice to marry so they shouldn't get benefits. Same sex yes.

No offense, dear, but I think you were the one making light of a serious issue. While I have my own issues with your views on marriage, I will simply state that every individual and therefor every relationship arrangement is different. As a pansexual woman who chooses heterosexual behavior (sexuality never changes but you do have a choice in your sexual behavior, and let's just say women are crazy), I cannot become legally married to a man and keep my dignity. It just can't happen until laws change and all marriages are treated equal.

The idea that marriage is "insurance" is outdated bullshit to me. We don't live in some third world country where we rely on a husband and his family to literally bring home dinner after plowing the fields all day. Here in America, where people can be independent and take care of themselves, marriage should be about love.

Well dear we live in a country where PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY should be more important than paying for others. I don't care how people live, I don't want to subsidize their life. Don't believe in marriage I don't care but you don't deserve to have insurance or whatever paid by an employee like a wife or husband does. If you want a man's insurance (or a man wants a woman's)then they need to get married unless they can't for some reason. I am tired of paying for people's choices while society doesn't pay for mine (nor would I ask them to).

I am tired of paying for people's choices while society doesn't pay for mine (nor would I ask them to).

There are lots of reasons why a person can't do something. My morality as a human being and my dignity as an independent, pansexual woman trump some piece of paper that says "you two live together, so split shit 50/50."

If you choose to be single instead of getting married, then you choose the personal responsibility of single life.

If you choose to take a domestic partner as a permanent part of your life, where you share responsibilities like you're supposed to in a legally defined "marriage", why should those domestic partnerships be denied benefits?

My ex-fiance and I were going to exchange vows and effectively live together as husband and wife. It was our choice that he be the stay at home husband while I was the breadwinner. It would have been bullshit if I had a health insurance policy that wouldn't cover him because we didn't have a sheet of paper saying the government recognizes us as spouses. It would have been absolute crap if anyone tried to say he would be a second rate father because we were going to have kids out of legal wedlock.

Ugh, why am I even arguing this? As I stated before, there's ways around the legal mumbo jumbo of the joke that is American marriage. When I'm ready to get tied down, I'll have to fill out and file thirty forms instead of one, but it's worth it to get what serious domestic partners DESERVE.

On the subject of tainted chicken........................... Dinner last night. Yeah, that superb new weight loss program. Salmonella.

I was up every hour. Like deep asleep, to fully awake, goddammmmit I hope I make it in time.

I can not swear that a human body contained that much material. There could be some substance to those vegan philosophies about undigested material lodged in the colon.

Literally an inch; to an inch and a half of my waist in 12 hours. The consequences for this? That sick feeling, a shitty nights sleep (ha ha shitty get it? nevermind), and a chapped ass.

My colon ought to sparkle like a freaking disco ball! After copious amounts of water I would say I do feel better (and lighter!).

Freeze said tainted chicken remaining should I need a crash diet, like I need a suit to fit better (or fit at all) for upcoming job interviews, Or to the disposal with beelzebubs best baked chicken?

On the fence on this.
