People often use marriage as a way out, but it's never as simple as it sounds. If money is involved, some people get too greedy. If feelings are involved, somebody gets hurt. Marriage should never be a secret, at least one should confide in a friend coz anything can happen and you'd need a witness. And when serious shit happens, it's family that will bail you out.Girl next doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786858603160127087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10895367.post-1152937502749995152006-07-15T07:25:00.000+03:002006-07-15T07:25:00.000+03:00Desparation is getting sober.
