luke Here in Canada...women are not called spinsters...we are just considered smart...
But I think living together as common law is probably practiced more than getting married?...or perhaps they get married after living together for a period of time...a kind of test run...
Sometimes people think others have an agenda but we all interpret things differently...always thought you to be a fair man...your thoughts are to get people thinking...regardless of what the content is...
My ex kept company of people I rather disliked...but never spoke ill of them until we went separate ways...he wasn't surprised...he recognized that I put up with their attitude for his sake...I also would make excuses to not go out with them...but did not interfere with his friendships...
Thanks for the compliment...I write what I feel...human interest stories appeal to me...sometimes I try to convert the tin men...trying to find a heart for them...lol...
