If my boyfriend told me that he thought of me as his wife and that we didn’t need to officially be married, I’d break up with his ass. I’d suspect he didn’t really love me, he thought we may have breaking up in our future, or that he was a selfish prick. And all three would probably be true.

Charlize Theron, on the other hand, is probably the one who told Stuart Townsend, her long-time boyfriend, that she didn’t want to get married. She probably tricked him into believing she didn’t want to get married by saying she didn’t want to be in tabloids and stuff, but really just isn’t sure where her life is going to take her. If that’s true, she pulled it off. Stuart seems happy with the “no real marriage” stuff. He said,

“I didn’t do a church wedding or anything, but we’re married. We’re husband and wife. We love each other and we want to spend our lives together. We didn’t have a ceremony, I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married. … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.”

This is like Hilary Swank and her man all over again. Well, I guess congratulations to them for making no real commitment and trying to pawn it off as marriage. The rest of us really get married but whatever.
