Goddamn - looks like I've have to come visit you at some point then. I'm not waiting two years to deal with conversatis interruptus.
I will say, cos I can, that in general the property aspects tend to work better for women than men on the ending of a heterosexual relationship. Which is as it should be, as it's usually the women that give up their jobs to raise kids.
As in, on divorce, it's generally women that get property from men, which they would not get if they hadn't been married, and therefore given a legal right to it.
And I don't, and never have, given a damn about traditional connotations of anything. Thankfully I don't live in the 1740s, 1890s or even the 1970s. I'm primarily interested in the status and uses of marriage in 2007 Britain.
