Hey, try-before-you-buy's a policy that's always had a sensible ring to it. It just doesn't make sense to spend years dating and living apart, only to find after you're married that her tendency to squeeze the middle of the toothpaste tube drives you up the wall.

I'm fine with it!!
Take it as a probation period!
Better than to discover that a couple is not suitable living together when they are married -
Well said! Second that! Do you wish to face the worst (divorce, house, kid, maintenance) later? Or to sort out those differences well in advance? I say time has changed, so should we.Originally posted by Camellias4me & gang:Ok to me. Like a trial session of married life, u get to know each other better, personal habits & differences. It is a gd chance to slowly adjust to each other, compromise & work out the differences then to get a bigger "surprise" after marriage.Hey, try-before-you-buy's a policy that's always had a sensible ring to it.

it's an excellent alternative to marriage. if you take a good look at marriage with its track record of increasing divorces, it is not an institution i would like to be a member of. cohabitation is as common as sliced bread in the west, it is known as defacto relationship and your partner is your common law spouse. I have been cohabiting with my partner for 16 years, we reside in a freehold private apartment purchased jointly. the issue in any partnership be it marriage or otherwise is commitment. this arrangement may not be everyone cup of tea i.e. those who need to fit into a norm or highly structured environment. my defacto partnership have lasted longer than several of my mates marriages.

Y'know, your relationship reminds me of the relationship between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. They've also cohabited for ages without getting married and they both seem to be very happy with it.
I guess cohabitation would also work for folks who have quite a great level of commitmentphobia as well. It allows them to be in a relationship without feeling stifled, I guess. It's commitment within their acceptable limits! -
Yah..Originally posted by Estee:yeah.... that would be nice.... -
random remark of the day:
i have an exam.
cohabitation - ok by me. -
Cohabitation would be ok with almost all men because well, what do they stand to lose?Originally posted by thinger:random remark of the day:

Our society is still largely conservative and women are still viewed to be at the 'losing end' when a couple chooses to cohabit. -
thats a generalization.
at this point in time, id say that from my persepctive, the only reason guys say it more than girls are bewcause girls are bitchy and tighted arsed.
mind you i hang out with my own crowd of 19-ish year olds give or take 5 years maybe.
i'll probably think otherwise and tell you i was wrong when i hit 30 but. -
I'll be moving in with my bf soon, and I know my friends all disapprove. My mum has threatened to disownme but oh well. I don't think she dares to, considering I'm her only biological child. Anyways, I think she is pretty disappointed that her only biological child is moving in with someone who is of another race, not rich, blah blah blah.
Oh yeah, and she said even Vietnamese women want 5 Cs, so how I can't settle with someone who doesn't have any of the Cs? Well, we're both the same age and quite young. We are starting life together and building our achievements from scratch. Why is that inferior to some vietnamese woman with her 5 Cs husband. Don't give a shite about that. -
i am ok with that too.
As usual if the partner and feeling is right why not ?
Living together and share all kinds of up and down isn't that a great experiences in life ?
Humh.. Gals on losing end i guess if you have decided to do so, we shld be mature enough to know what is happening right ?
So in my book there isn't any losing end or regrets.
Regrets shall never be in our books as it make us more miserables in looking back on mistake .
