Pedro Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Just now, Clive said: Who won the footy @Pedro ? ☺ FCPorto. I'm not a football guy but I'm local to Porto, and on a match against a team from Lisbon I am for us northerners. To see Pinto da Costa weeping as he's just left the position of president after 42 years in it, and the coach Sérgio Conceição also with tears in his eyes, being an ex player and hardcore "Porto", probably also coaching his last match in the club, I have to admit it was moving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i have to disagree I don't think of it as some bit of paper it shows a sign of commitment to each other and has legal protections for both of you things you never know about until you need to. I had two friends that used to say it's only a bit of paper to me and the wife and they would mention it regular when we were out making it sound like me and the wife had wasted our time getting married and there was no point in this day and age which did piss me off. They were together for 15 years but he died and left no will so the house that she had paid into for 15 years along with his van was in his name and all went to his son who after about a year kicked her out of what should have been her home. I haven't the heart to say to her still think it's not worth getting married every time i see her now. As for the keeping the expense down i totally agree i see couples spending thousands on a wedding and starting off in life with a huge debt to pay off and end up divorced two years later. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never worse it until something bad and unplanned happens. As another note, Europe sees unmarried couples as having legitimacy and rights and we get used to that. But if something bad happens in some other parts of the world, suddenly that is not the case and suddenly you're both two people with no connection to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
