Legally Married, But Not Really? My Wallet Says Yes, My Heart Says Huh?!

My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years, and thanks to his $200k in flight school debt, we’re both still living at home, scraping by. I’m about to lose my parent’s insurance, and honestly, it would save us hundreds if he could hop onto mine. The catch? We’d have to get legally married—just a quick courthouse signature, no rings, no vows, not even a last name change. Our families would know, but to everyone else, we’d still be just dating. But here’s where it gets messy: I’m starting to wonder if this is just a loophole or if I’m selling myself short. Is it fair that I’m the one with savings and no debt, but I’m the one bending over backwards for his financial mess? What if this whole “fake marriage” thing backfires and I end up resenting him for it? Has anyone else been in this weird limbo? I’m torn between practicality and romance, and I need some real talk.
