yeah I wouldn't sweat the whole engaged/not engaged thing (sounds like you're not). with so many marriages ending in divorce now, a marriage is almost like saying "well let's do a long-term relationship and if we break up it'll cost thousands in lawyer fees"...not trying to be cynical since i've been happily married 10 years. but I have one good friend on his second marriage (we're both 38 years old) and two friends whose engagements went sour and married someone else eventuallyMeh, I think there are alot of couples who are content to just be in a relationship. Especially in Europe. I'm half German and have plenty of friends there, know the culture well, and long relationships without marriage are pretty common
