Lost! I think I need Help
Hi Apologies for registering under a new name, my other name is quite specific to me and I am already too ashamed of how I feel without the worry that someone will realise this is me.

"There is no point in getting married if you're not having kids"
Why do people say this? It annoys me. It's always parents that say it. Marriage is a symbol of commitment between two people, a partnership, and also leads to cheaper car insurance according to my insurer :) So on the basis of not wanting children, why shouldn't I get married? Any thoughts.

Relationship breakdown whats a fair split?
After nearly 5 years together my partner has ended our relationship. We live together in a flat I own and he has paid me rent (much less than it would have been if we rented a place together which is what we would have done had I not bought).

How would you react? (Aggressive stranger v child scenario)
Just a question I'd like to ask after what I witnessed on the bus yesterday. I'll preface this by saying my personal opinion is that I believe in some physical chastisement of children, in the shape of a slap on the bum when they are really, really naughty. Anyway, I was on the bus the other day on the top deck alone with…
