This reminds me of my ex, we are both guys. Same sex marriage wasn’t legal yet, and I just wanted the ceremony without the legal part. He said he promised himself he wouldn’t get married until it counted legally. So when it became legal I proposed, and that’s when he changed the goal post and said it had to be legal worldwide. That’s when I realized he just didn’t want to be married. Now I’m married very happily to someone else.
Fucking world wide?!? That will NEVER happen. There are countries and cultures that won’t allow it. Hell there are places that you can be jailed or worse executed for being queer. I’m glad you got away from him.
OK so feel free to ignore me but did you think your ex was moving the goalpost because he wanted to have easy way out of the relationship if things got difficult compare to being in a marriage where it's more difficult.
Possibly. I did find out after the fact that he had been cheating on me towards the end of the relationship though. He wasn’t the sharpest nail in the box.
