    It’s kinda funny. My wife and I were living together in a committed relationship for about five years. Then her mom said, in passing, “Aren’t you worried he doesn’t want to buy the cow if he can get the milk for free?” And that just sent her into a tailspin for weeks.

    So, about a year later, we got married. And it’s been great. Ceremony was an excuse to have a big party with all of our friends. We’ve got a bunch of pictures all over the house where we can say “Damn, we looked good when we were younger”. Given the tax advantages and the fact that we were about to buy a house and have a son anyway, it was the logical move. But it’s amusing that this was the straw to break the camel’s back, so to speak.

      Similar boat. Already had a house, been together for years. Getting married was just for fun and tax benefits. It changed nothing, otherwise.

    I never married in Skyrim. Not after probably a thousand of hour gameplay.

    Real life no problem. Skyrim never.

      You can monetize the power shout somehow in this capitalistic society. Worst case shout onlyfans? Even Cameo that app where you pay someone 199$ to say something.

      Kill 14 more dragons and sell of their scales amd bones.

      This requires at least 75 in Speech and many of the perks.

    I have a roof over my head over my head but most of all I’m dead inside. So I got that dragon soul achieved too.

      “Dead inside”

      NOT Thu’um-in

      Sure thing, buddy. You’re keeping that achievement locked.
