    My eldest and my youngest get on really well and there is 13 years between them. He and the one who is four years younger clash much more.

    It is extremely rare for The Pill to fail, IF used properly.

    PS Dear Mother Nature, my domestic/caring/selflessness abilities are nil and my siblings have continued the family dynasty, so please don't make my Pill the one to fail! :eek:

    You know the answer to that dont you? Keep your legs crossed!:rotfl:

    ...might make the fellah sleep in a room, and not touch his boxer shorts or trousers, that should do it for sure. And cross the street whenever I see a virile chap walking along it :D

    I had to leave, for various reasons I could not take the children with me but if I had not gone, I would most likely have been in a foreign jail with a Life sentence.

    Well that's not disturbing at all...

    I actually googled it and according to the first source I found, something like 3.5 million, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age, are on it. So I suppose given that, even with very low failure rates, there's gonna be some accidents.

    I don't disagree, but people can't generally just decide to 'turn off' sadness. All regrets are pointless really, none of us can change the past, but its human nature to look back sometimes and wish things had been different.

    Of course you can't turn it off, and burying it can make it worse - but I think you need to try and look at the sadness, acknowledge it, make your peace with it, and move on.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I'm sure that's what she's trying to do, it doesn't rule her her life but it is there, and I thought it could shed a bit of light on why the OP doesn't deserve to be judged too harshly for having the second without a marriage certificate.

    Only doing it on the dog's birthday would lengthen the odds :D
