now that is funny.
It's amazing how different the laws are in very similar cultures. over here, for family benefits/ government assistance, if you've lived with a member of the opposite sex for more than 6 months, your considered in a marriage like relationship, and expected to support each other. ignore the fact that i might be a gay 19 year old, and my housemate a 80 year old lady, it is up to us to PROVE to the government we are not in a defacto relationship.
I guess my point got lost way back when i went on a tangent.
The best way I think, to deal with the news, is to look at your relationship with Jeff. If he's worth waiting for, then it shouldn't hurt to give it a little longer. If not... then be glad your not married to him
i guess i do the same thing when my friends buy a new sports car. i look at my trusty old beast with her sticky power windows, and kidney shaking ride, then think of the loan repayments, and how the recent interest rate hikes hasn't stung me at all, and stick with her.
