What's that ring really do, anyways?

"Oh, god, the ring changes everything! It makes your life hell, locks you in, and makes everything miserable. You'll never live another day as you know it, currently, ever again. Don't do it, whatever you do! Don't get married!"

Well, the idea of marriage has entered my mind, but it is quite a ways off yet and for now I'm simply entertaining the idea. (Hey, yeah, I met someone, by the way. Woot.) What I've heard from several people, just as above, is that living together is one thing and being married is something entirely different. The majority of people that say this tend to portray marriage in a bad light and that having a ring on your finger turns that person you were shacking up with from a love to a demon. As it has been repeatedly explained to me, getting married apparently tears lives apart, turns women greedy and evil, and makes men long for the days when they were in college and stupid-drunk every night. A reaction must take place once the ring slides onto the finger, changing brain chemistry or something of the sort.

"Even living with someone for years and sharing your life with them isn't the same as being married. It is entirely different."

Really? Why? What changes and why is it so often stated to be such an unpleasant event?
