sage advice.
Sometimes you need a perfect stranger to tell you truths - on the way home last night, conversing with the taxi driver:
Are you telling me that I have to wait six years?
It's already been eight years.
Hmm. True.
.... You're a nice girl. You'll find someone who'll love you. Don't wait too long - give it a year or two and get married. Have a kid. Guys are different with children. They stay. You'll find someone. Someone who will love you.
