I'm a company office worker living in Nerima, currently two weeks into my pregnancy. I've been in a common-law relationship with my boyfriend for seven years, and now we're practically living as husband and wife. I applied for this because I need funds for our wedding and for childbirth. My boyfriend is three years older than me; we've been together for eight years now. He's kind and warm-hearted, but lacks seriousness and works in manual labor, constantly moving from one job site to another, drifting like a rootless wanderer. Still, being with him is my reason for living. Without him, my life would have no meaning left. Now that I'm pregnant, I've decided we must finally have our wedding. To build a future together with him, I'm taking this first step forward.
