Sorry IS, one more quick note on the latest trend in your thread:
"As for not knowing of many gay couple that have made it past 15 years I can tell you that I personally know of one couple that was together 51 years (his partner passed away 2 years ago). I also have a friend that has been with her partner 28 years."
Two of my best friends (female and gay) have been in a committed relationship with each other for 20 years and just recently tied the knot in NY after the gay marriage law was passed in that state.
Incidently I was their Best... dude, bridesman, I don't know what the heck I was, but I stood up for my friends in their wedding and it was awesome! Oh and BTW, one of them is also my business partner!
