Nah unfortunately. He's listed as 'in a relationship'. It doesn't link who too though. In 'my day' he immediately linked to me and set mine up to link to his. He's not so proud of the ow me thinks. Actually, he never references her there at all or answers her. Maybe that is going into too much analysis...
But I agree on the aliens. Great fog filled aliens!
I agree with Bonny that ow does sound insecure and it is interesting that H hasn't set up the link to her. Not proud of her...hmmm I'm wondering about that in my case too as H never mentions her to his parents.
I think they trade down because it helps make them feel better about themselves; puts them in a position of greater control. I have thoughts too that a trade down is all that's on offer to them.
