For example, do I have to second for my new friends, should they be involved in a duel to the death?
Will I be called upon to be an executer to their wills or have to dash to their hospital bed in the event of a life threatening disease or near fatal accident?
Do I now find myself responsible for their mortgage and debts should they default or be expected to provide for their families in hard times. Can I make reciprocal claims for myself, or is this a one way commitment?
Any enlightenment would be most welcome.
It is like being a member of the British Royal family. You are entitled to what ever you want.
