What are the disadvantages of couples living together and not being married?

Do you think it is wrong or right?What are the disadvantages of couples living together and not being married?
Well you have no security ..... there is no obligation on the guy to marry you. divorce is complicated, just moving out is not. Why stay together if you can get married instead? There is no real commitment. i know of 2 girls who stayed with their boyfriends together for plus 7 years and in the end the boyfriends move out and within one year got married to someone else. Difficult to buy things together because when you split who gets what. anyway who wants to act like a wife to some one that is not really your husband and vice versa? I do not see any advantages of living together except for financial reasons ............face it it is cheaper to live together!What are the disadvantages of couples living together and not being married?
I think there's nothing wrong with that IF you can handle it, and IF there's a solid plan to eventually get married after some time. Disadvantages come in every form if you plan to stay in that stage for life!
i've been thru this..and the only advantages are gettin' to see %26amp; live with the other person therefore completely know each other in %26amp; out; and when u got to know each other %26amp; didnt like it afterall- no messy divorce but just a mutual breaking up and no wedding vows to force you to stay together.


the disadvantages are there is no complete commitment to work hard enough %26amp; i think goals are pretty much different. Both situations does not involve any kids. (thankfully)


having experienced it, i would like to find a guy whom i'll marry first before living together (ouch!.....goodluck!)





btw,no such thing as right or wrong. to each on its own!
There would be a high chance of an unwanted pregnancy that is also out of wedlock. Also, there is no permanent commitment to the relationship, it's still possibly temporary.





I've seen couples that live together before marriage work out well and also some that end horribly. Even my married friends that lived together before they were married say that you do not get the ';honeymoon'; period after the marriage. You've lived together already so nothing really changes. Now you just say you're married.


Personally, I do think it's wrong. BUT, it's anyones choice to live as they wish. It's accepted world wide so certainly it can be done with little social stigma.
