Adrienne Uthe, a 32-year-old entrepreneur, was engaged but decided against marriage after concerns about the financial and legal risks of divorce. She feared that it could impact her businesses.
Uthe and her partner, Eric, have been together for over six years. They initially got engaged but later ended it, opting to remain in a committed relationship without legal ties.
Their decision was influenced by their personal experiences and observations of friends’ divorces. They value their financial independence and want to avoid the potential complications that divorce can bring to their businesses.
While they are not married, they consider their bond to be stronger than a piece of paper. They wake up each day choosing each other, not out of obligation but out of mutual desire.
