"just friends" has always made me cringe. i've had arguments over this..to me, "just lovers" would be SO much more appropriate, where friendship is much more delicate and emotionally volatile.
the health insurance thing has ALWAYS bugged me, when people cash in because they happened to sign a document ages ago. since i am self employed and had NO health insurance, i had to literally almost die before i got hauled into the hospital with cancer.
and as far as status- there is NO status LOWER than being a 'girlfriend' but not 'married' in a straight relationship. i always remember when i was with my Ex and we both got sick..some awful lung thing..he of course went to his dr, got drugs, and was fine in 3 days. i, the nobody he was living with and uninsured, was sick for 12 weeks.
i keep saying, let's end ALL the controversy- let's just do away with MARRIAGE, since it means nothing anyhow, and let each human choose their OWN way of caring for..gasp..themselves.
