Topic: Shackin up! | |

I think that its fine. I would rather do that at this point of my life.

marrage is not a commitment any more its just a leagule shack up till something better comes along.then the lawyers get rich and if kids are involved then they suffer. Soits better to just live together and keep finances seperate so it can be an easy split.

I've only been married once, but had about 12 live-ins of various lengths and severities. I don't think anyone or anything could ever convince me to get married again -- yeah, it was that bad -- but I could see living with someone again.

No more for me. It's the real thing or nothing. Don't need to be legally married but I would have to damned sure that was the person I want to see last before I close my eyes for eternal sleep. Someone who is my best friend and partner in life. I would have to know deep in my heart he felt the same way and that we would be growing old together, holding hands when we are 80 or more. I want someone who will stick by me like I stick by them. A tall order in this day and age.

I was married too. I think we got married to quickly so living together I think would be the best way for now. If the relationship continues going strong then I may not be opposed to getting married. As long as you are both happy why does a piece of paper make a difference

it may be cold but in ohio the divorce rate is close to 80% and people are on the third or fourth marriage.So its stupid to marrie

i use to not believe in it
however, now i am not so sure having a piece of paper saying you are married is all that important. i want to find someone to grow old with..still hold hands at sixty, him helping her on with her sweater, etc. |

I know at least 5 people that lived together for 5,6 even 10 years and married then divorced 2 or 3 years latter but the ones that still just live together are still together

The truth is, no one here can say whether that will know someone or not until you actually live with them and even then you really don't know someone. Although you get the chance to experience there personality and how they live and you make your choices from there. Why even bring up marriage if you never lived together?

cincy40 that because most of us went in to a relationship knowing there was red flags but did it anyways. I did it myself and fuly knowing that I shuldn;t have gotten married but did it out of pressure and fear of being alone. I was young and didn't really have an understanding of the meaning of any real relationship. today my eyes are open and it's nice not pertending to be blind

Wow... I love all the different thoughts.... keep em coming!!!
|

that is infact what alot of people do.but the other fact is people think the grass is greener and cant be happy with what they have and go looking for better to find out latter they were wrong

I don't think I would live with another boyfriend again unless we were engaged....
living with someone is a huge step and it could change the entire relationship.... I lived with my ex pretty much the entire time we were together... I think you need to have a "trial" of living with someone before getting married because when living together you REALLY see how your partner is.... |

you just never know these days. peolpe are so self absorbed and dont think ahead.there is no comitment any more so its just live for the moment.people need to get it together and realize that life is to short and get back to the basics.looking for that one person and keeping them.

|
|
