Emily and her partner L spoke to each other online for 10 years before they ever met. Now after dating for 7 years, they bought a property together using a special legal arrangement, as Singapore does not allow same-sex marriage. As well as dealing with their own relationship problems, such as having different religious beliefs, they have had to deal with their conservative families - at one time, L's mother even referred to Emily as "that ugly person" and asked her daughter to stop hanging out with her. Although they are not fully out, they have been happily dating for 7 years. Correction: in Singapore, generally speaking, you can buy an HDB (subsidized housing) if you're married. If you're single, you have to be 35 years old to qualify. This puts LGBTQ couples in an awkward situation.
