Personally, I like my friends to be there when I need them. I would go through hell for my mates and I would like to think they would do the same for me. Then again, I'm Australian and perhaps we have a different concept of mateship. We do have a different idea about relationships legally. If you have been together nine years and have any kind of proof, you are regarded as having the same rights and obligations as being legally married, and she would be entitled to half the lot.
