    yes, sort of, off the pill in january is the plan. all i managed to get with my negotiation skills in return is a confirmation that i would be allowed to go skiing every year. i might get that in writing though.

    but herts is unlikely, all my friends are SW.

    Oooh exciting. :D
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    i don't think much is likely to happen very quickly, as she has been taking pill since 14/15 and will be 34 in jan.

    2013 could be a big year in the life of Mr & Mrs chewy.

    Hope it all goes to plan. :beer:

    no, i have no plans to either. i'm giving some slight consideration to just getting a pair of wedding rings for us to wear instead of getting married though, as a symbolic thing, although not sure how she would react to that.

    So how does that work?

    Down on one knee and say "Will you wear a ring so that we look married even though we are not?"

    Yes. I'd take longer to pick somebody this time, though. Both at the "no longer just seeing each other but now in a relationship" transition, and the engagement decision. I wouldn't live with somebody without getting married, but that's a faith thing.

    Can someone explain the category of "seeing each other but not in a relationship"? I think that is a category that has come about with the facebook generation. I don't understand what it means.

    What happens if somebody dies in an accident or other circumstances requiring a post-mortem? There's no way you'd get the body within 24 hours, let alone be able to have the funeral.

    Generally you avoid post-mortems where possible. If it is unavoidable you get the post-mortem done and the body released as quickly as possible. Centres with large jewish (and muslim) populations are more geared up to moving quickly. In certain places you can get MRI scan post-mortems, so the scan can be done and the body released and then the experts can examine the post mortem results at length.

    Dating but not exclusively is different to being 'in a relationship'' where seeing other people is either

    1. Not done

    2. Not done with the other partner's knowledge

    3. Done by prearranged knowledge and consent

    4. Part of a polygamous relationship where you might both see the same other person

    Have I missed any?
