With over 50 percent of traditional marriages dissolving in divorce and the percentages continuing to rise is living together in a common law relationship a better option?
It would appear that without the traditional marriage license there would be less legal expernse in any separation and the reason to stay together would be more about a personal connection rather than some peace of papter issued by the state.
I have had friends indicate that they got along better when they just lived together but when they entered into a traditional marriatge the whole dynamics of the relationship changed and they separated. What is it about that peace of paper, marriage license, that changes individuals?

Feel free to confess your inter most personal reasons you cheated on your partner. I think your personal confession will give others who have cheated on their partners a better understanding of themselves and how their feelings and actions are related to us as individuals.
