I hav cohabit wif a ger b4...mi ex. Veri fun last time... not just the sex part, but to be able to hav each other for the nite, talking and doing things together. I like those times...

How about u?

Psychogically proven - guys who cohabit is less likely to marry that girl he cohabit with. Even though it may seemed to be a test to see whether the both of you can get along together and lived together -it is highly likely that the relation may detoriate unconsciously.

Why you may ask. Let me put it in point form...
Married couplePlus points: can enjoy sexual activities together everyday (if thats what you want), doing things together - bathing, etc. Making a nice, comfy home to be in and building a family together.

Minus points: Financial stress, the responsibilty that comes in a family - upgrading status of bf to husband - must be more tolerent, caring, etc. Anything must think of family first. If got kids, extra burden.
Cohabit CouplesPlus points: Same as married couple above,
Minus point: None. (Unless you both staying away from parents, then financial could be a burden) There is no upgrading of status - don't have the legal thing to go through if break up, therefore tolerence level all that is much lower.
So... if you cohabit - you think the guy is willing to accept the same plus points and nothng else, instead ADDING on burdens when marriage take place? He will hesitate unless he truely loves you - which is only applicable for the rare few.

So ladies, if you love your man, you sure you want to cohabit?
