In Arkansas, if you cohabitate with some one for six months, they are considered your common law spouse. They entitled to the same rights as any other spouse. However, it is much easier to divorce them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.In Oklahoma, it is only six weeks but it carries the stipulation that they must have some way contributted to the household. Contributions can be financial, but can also include household chores and similar actions. As to the OP: many people have already said the same thing I would have to say. Speaking as some one whose longest relationship is 2.5 years, I am probably not qualified to give advice. That being said, I have learned that it does not really matter how much you care for some one if there is something about one of the pair that the other finds distasteful. It might be gaming, as in this case and as it has been for me in the past; or, it might be a philosophical difference. The problem is not whether or not gaming is childish any more then the problem is whether she's country and you're rock and roll. Rather, it is the fact that there is point of friction between two people that, as people in a relationship, should simply accept as part of the package. I don't mean to be flippant or dismissive, but it brings to mind a line from Pirates of the Carribbean: "It all comes down to what you can live with, and what you can't." If you have to change it, or if you have to complain about it, then you can't really live with it.</blockquote>
