In Canada you can be required to pay support to a woman you dated, even if you're not married, don't kids and don't live together

I don't know if this was posted before, but this is the stuff of
nightmares. A Canadian court ordered a guy to pay +$50k/MONTH for 10
YEARS to a woman he was dating. They were never married, had no kids
together, and never shared a home. Link to the news article:

Let's review some facts:

 	* They dated for 14 years
 	* No kids
 	* No shared bank accounts
 	* Not living together
 	* The poor guy proposed SEVERAL TIMES, she finally accepted, but
REFUSED TO LEGALLY MARRY HIM
 	* The poor chump gave her "thousands of dollars every month, a
credit card, paid off her mortgage and showered her with expensive
gifts"
 	* They travelled together (I'm going to guess on his dime)

When they broke up she asked the court to be recognised legally as his
partner and for him to pay support. The first court's decision was for
him to pay her +$50k/MONTH INDEFINITELY. Can you imagine? The guy
appealed and the sentence was reduced from indefinitely to 10 years...

You can't make this stuff up. Be careful out there.
