Kilroy the Ninja Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Yep, it's all too true. Been there. Done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankcdnj Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 So, you have cohabitated before. How did it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marielapin Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Those stats look right according to what I learned in my psychology classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy the Ninja Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hmmm, let's see... he helped move me away from the church, finally "married" me (JP wedding) after living with me for four years and then finally left me after six years of playing house. We were divorced and the "marriage" annulled and now I'm married to Don John of Austria and have been for almost three years. The first "marriage" pretty much ran along all of the elements mentioned in that article. It's sad and it's all true, true, true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I heard on Dr. Ray Guarendi's program a stat that someone who cohabitates with someone other than the person he/she ends up marrying quadruples the chance of divorce. But what I am curious about is the stats regarding married people living longer than unmarried people (#23 and 24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 flowery, just because they did is no reason to give up hope. Just because people move in together before marriage is no reason to doom them to failure, because of all the statistics. There's statistics out there for everything. And you know what, sometimes people prove them wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankcdnj Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 To be blunt, the reason couples live together is to make the sex seem ok. It is a fact that couples living together have sex more often than married couples. So, I see living together as a "lust." I have never and will never live with someone. Plus, there are other issues of their sexual relations I will not mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
