You get nothing out of it. He gets all of the benefits of a wife. You get no benefits of a legal document. I am starting to date and find that so many women have lived with men and then were devestated when he left them or put them out. Men have all of the advatanges. Why do it? What were you thinking?

I am 21 and have lived with 3 boyfriends since I was 17. I can honestly say they have benefitted from that. I will agree it's good for practice. It's not for some, but it really worked well for me. I saw habits in each one that I would not allow the next to bring into the relationship. Many women make the mistake that I made and got 'confortable' and found it easier to stay when they should leave. It's a matter of what you think is right for you. However, if you are soon to be or considering getting seriously involved(talking marriage) you should move in together at least for 6 months. There are habits a person forms that you may never know about until you live with them!!!

A legal document doesn't change much. Except for being responsible for the other adult and the occassional name change. Marriage isn't for everyone. It would have been devastating dating or married.It probably was a lot easy to move on and get past not being married. No court dates or hearings. A lot of women act out in anger and out of spite and if I were a man I would be nervous about marriage too. Your no longer in love with this woman and she doesn't mak eyou happy, but you may have to stay to prevent her from getting angry and trying to tak eeverything. Lie and lie. End up with eveything do everything she can to hurt and get back at him. make hi slife a living hell and still when it's allover never leave hom be. So if your not married you shouldn't clean or cook or love him? Why should you only be require dto do those things as a wife? because I did those things made my husband marry me. How would he know what type of wife i'd eb if he didn't try me out a s agirlfriend or whatever first? I loved him and we moved in together. i never pushe dor rushed because time was enough . I never got impatient or got feeling sof why won't he amrru me. Wer should be ready at teh sam etime. When he was ready than so was I

Sex on demand, he pays half, he shares the housework, he cooks, he gives the kids a good role model, he cant take my house when he leaves, he keeps the bed warm. I get all the benefits of a husband without the hassle of legal documents or divorce when he goes?
One CANNOT tell how people can live together WITHOUT actually living together and there is no way one should get married without KNOWing how co-habitation feels. I wouldnt buy a car without test driving it...or make a lifelong commitment without testing it for a very long time. If after 3 years you dont get married or make plans for same...I think its a done deal that its not working and a decision should be made to give it up.
Eh....it works both ways.

I am glad that you have the wisdom and think highly enough of yourself to not wind up being the loser. I think sometimes, people live in the moment until tragedy strikes then they see thing in a different light. It is always best to protect yourself and your rights, it is sort of like an investment with returns, if you have the benefits of a legal document. Continue to grow in wisdom, you are definitely on the right path.

My husband and I lived together before we got married. I think its a good idea that way you know what you are getting into and it wont be a big shock when you get married. We went to high school together so we knew each other anyway so it wasnt that big of a deal, I think its a good idea, but its not for everyone I dont guess.

I can't answer for everyone, but for me, I was looking for a place to stay and it suited my needs at the moment. I was not looking at anything long term at that time. And women do get something out of it. A loving relationship/companion and a place to live.

dude im gonna laugh so hard when some broad marries you, cheats on you, then puts you out of the house YOU OWN and takes half your stuff away, and if you have kids with her you'll get to see them about 20% of the time she gets with them
yeah marriage sounds like a great idea from a male perspective

Jesus did no longer layout this international for a guy to stay without lady nor a woman to stay without guy. We had all greater effective pray that the day on no account comes whilst females would have the potential to stay without men and men to stay without females. that's unnatural and is going against the grain of which we've been created.

Women get more benefits than men in those arrangements.

It is because we are part of them,men are not complete without women on their sides, its us who give them opportunity to show how brave they are.
