No that was a tech issue that very weirdly only affected a few around the world.

A lady, or a gentleman, in my opinion is somebody who behaves in a respectful manner, who doesn't embarrass herself or those she's with. Nothing to do with ironing the newspaper and warming up her husband's slippers before he gets home.

He paid for everything - even the gas to get there and back, all in approximately $2000. No offer to pay any of it from her. 6 months later, they went to Niagara on the Lake for 4 days - again, 5* hotel etc., again, he paid.

In fact, in the 2.5 years they were together he paid for absolutely everything. Every cab, every drink, every dinner, every meal out or take away, every bit of entertainment, the gas for her car. When he asked her if perhaps they could start putting money away together every month to help cover the costs, she refused.

Her birthday was at Christmas - the last one they were together, he spent over $600 on gifts for her (for both birthday and Christmas) - she spent about $80 (and had borred that from him).

They earned more or less the same. She lived at home for the first 18 months, he had a mortgage and bills to pay.

They split up very shortly after.

No, Siouxie - come on! Seriously, though! No disrespect, but your son comes across as a bit of a goof, don't you think? Only a man who is desperately, desperately p*ssy-whipped would have taken all that treatment from a girlfriend for two and a half years. I've never heard of such a thing; and have only read about it when it involved sugar-daddies and their tarts.

No. He's a caring, affectionate and generous man who was head over heels in love.

Insult taken, thanks.

I hope your son finds himself a partner that deserves him, he sounds like a sweetie to me.

That sense is apparently used in Canada.

but I don't think people here should reasonably be expected to be familiar with such local meanings.
