Whilst I sympathise that your marriage has gone down the pan, maybe you are now realizing the inequality towards those who never married like myself.
Considering the number of guys in long term relationships, who are simply not entitled to a quarter and end up paying three times the price to rent, it really is about time the powers modernised their rules and accepted that not everyone wishes to get married.
Not being married costs me about £6000 a year. And don't all jump in with how much it would cost if I was - she earns a bloody good wage thanks!
