Kind of in a gray area right now. I've been dating someone for a while now, but both of us still have a little baggage from previous relationships so are not willing to use the "R-word" just yet.

Eh, the hallmark of comedies as opposed to tragedies is the ability of the protagonist to pull through and emerge successful in the end. Tragedies end with death or at minimum a massive failure of everyone.

Quite possibly, but I don't see any reason why we shouldn't do it now and, to be honest, I just want to do it. We've waited long enough for it.

Congrats. Indeed, getting a marriage-that's-not-called-marriage now only means that if you get a chance to upgrade, you can throw a big party all over again and maybe some of your friends will feel like they have to give you gifts again, sounds like a win-win all around.

I have the sudden urge to draw a map with islands marked "single", "in a relationship", and "married/civil partnership". Between the first two, we'd have "it's complicated. Here be dragons." and pictures of wrecked ships.
