    IMO constant text speaking on a forum makes a person look like a thicko:p
    Presumbly the OP and mi-laddo only have txt sx, hence not declaring themselves as a couple.

    Whether or not the OP and their boyfriend are considering marriage is neither here nor there. In order to be regarded as LTAHAW (as the DWP puts it) they "must be members of the same household" i.e. they must live in the same house, and live there regularly. If the facts are that the boyfriend lives elsewhere then they are not LTAHAW no matter what their future intentions might be.

    Ever likely this country is fckked.

  • Eleven years of compulsory education resulting in no capital letters, inability to spell, no grammar and lack of punctuation. Yet another example of a massive waste of tax payers money.

    On the other hand I bet she's great at adding up the benefit money and researching how to get everything for nothing.

    All in all a sorry reflection on our amoral society.

    Oh, but it's only a forum. The OP isn't here for an English lesson you know.

    And the rest of that liberal sh1te.

    On the upside, I've just reduced our forecast tax bill by £1k, so that's a bit less of the OP's texting bill I'll be paying. :T

    This has got to be a wind up?? Children are toddlers and not his plus both have different Dad's yet call new boyfriend who has obviously only been on the scene 5 minutes Dad, yet he's never there cause away with the Army or at his Mothers and never even had a holiday together??? So basically the OP wants to Marry someone she barely knows??
    Only saving grace is she can't have anymore kids with "Father Unknown" on the birth certificate!!!

    I'm thinking along the same lines re wind-up..

    ty and no jus so everyone is clear i was with the father but he let my son down when he was needed everytime and left my son to die.... not over exxagerating at all! my partner whom i am with has been his 'father' as i can not have future children when we are married hes adopting the children which means maintainance will be stopped but 'sperm donor' has no rights as hes not on original b.certi and has no involvement currently .
