dont do it, stay single and just fuck random sluts, its cheaper :wink2:


actually a broad and i moved in together after dating for a few years, and then ended up splitting up - just couldn't live together.

my wife and i lived together for for about a year before we got married and its worked out.

My wife and I moved in together after we got engaged. But we were in a long distance relationship (midwest to east coast) so it made more sense anyway.

I probably wouldn't have made it a condition for getting married, but I'm all for it.

From a 2002 article in CNN (link):

Couples who did not live together before marrying had a 31 percent chance of splitting up after 10 years, compared with a 40 percent chance for couples who cohabited before marriage, the study found.

It doesn't necessarily mean that living together causes the extra breakups, but something to think about, anyway.

So true! :biggrin:

We didn't plan on living together before the wedding, but she spent every night at my place anyway, and this way we get all the furniture moved in and pictures hung on walls and other various remodeling done ahead of time. I'm pretty sure these 10 months "living in sin" won't be the determining factor in the long-term success of our marriage.

If you don't live together first, how will you know you can't stand they way she caps the toothpase, or the way he leaves his socks in the sink, or the way she holds her farts until she falls asleep thinking you won't know she farts but not realizing she gasses you out of bed once her anus relaxes. How will you know he doesn't pay bills until it's "pay or cut off", how will you know she likes her dog to lick her toes until she falls asleep.

People in a long term, cohabitation relationship, or not the same people you see dressed up and ready to go on a date. They aren't even the same people that knew ahead of time you were going to stay over all night so they made sure all the socks were picked up and the cat was fed so it wouldn't meow at the door all night while you made sweet, passionate, date sex.

Living together first is definitely a go in my book. If you decide you can't stand any of those little things you just didn't realize about the other person before you get married and live together you are either stuck with someone you don't really like for the rest of your life or you are stuck with legal fees and having to separate bills, accounts, credit and stuff.

one of my buddies for the longest time would say that not only was he going to live with her for a while before getting married, but that he wanted to have a couple of kids first too, then he would decide if he liked her enough to get married :slappy:

BTW, they were married before getting pregnant, and they are now expecting number two and are very happily married

yes.

think of it as leasing. your definitely locked into an agreement that will not be painless to get out of. but, its the easiest way to get her to clean your house.

helpful hints.
rent/mortgage - your name only
power - your name only
phone - not your name (or just use cell phones - my personal preference)
don't share credit cards
don't share any form of debt
cosign for NOTHING

im on my second live in gf. there are definite advantages and disadvantages. but the absolute most critical thing is to absolutely under NO circumstances share bills. either you pay 100% of a bill, or she pays 100% of a bill. do not cosign for anything ever for any reason. make sure the lease agreement/home is in YOUR NAME ONLY. it has nothing to do with women running up a phone bill or men being irresponsible with bills or either side being vindictive/hateful. its just that things have a tendancy to change. should either of you begin to feel differently about the other, your priorities will rapidly move away from any form of financial obligation shared between the two of you. make certain that at the end of the day you have the necessities firmly in your control. you have a roof over your head, you have power, you have heat, you have running water. make sure all of these things are in YOUR name. you can live without a phone and mcdonalds is just down the street.
