Most couples that live together and then get married end up divorcing. Just remember that living together is no commitment on anyone's part. A woman should give a lot of thought to living with a man that will not commit to marriage. He is only in it for what he can get from you.

@bigjohndl I think that it is true that many who live together don't commit to marriage. Also the divorce part.

@PoetryNEmotion I just don't understand why women will give up their body willingly to a man who won't make a commitment. He can walk away at anytime without recourse. And then the women is left saying "I thought he loved me" What happened?

@bigjohndl Times change. People do too. Marriage doesn't seem to hold the same value as it used to. I thought I would like to marry again, but, at this time, I just don't feel it. I would consider it again under different circumstances with a different partner.

@Straylight I like talking with people, girl. I always have. I like talking about what they think. Thanks, Straylight. LOL.

@PoetryNEmotion We've been together for 2 months now. Seeing her makes my head swim all those feel good chemicals, but I'm trying to keep a level head.

@Straylight Don't rush it, girl. Let the giddiness subside. See what the future holds for you two. You are in the "honeymoon" stage of love. Time will test its strength.

@PoetryNEmotion I will try to heed your wisdom. I don't know your preferences, but girl/girl relationships have a tendency to hit hard and burn up fast. And I REALLY don't want that to happen this time.

@Straylight I was into women long, long ago. Not anymore. Knowing that (hard and fast) gives you cause to pause more. You are welcome.

@Straylight [i]Nothing[/i] takes the romance out of an affair like living together.

@bigjohndl You are right. But try telling that to any young woman in love.
