Is it acceptable to you to live with your partner without any plans to get married?

[Still-alive]

Or is that a no for you? if you are to live with your partner it should come with plans for marriage too? So However long it takes, as long as there are some plans to get married at a future date I'm ok if we are living together.

If you are married try to answer as if you are not.

Yes it is acceptable to me to live with my partner without any plans for marriage

No, if we live together it should come with plans for marriage too

For me I don't want to live with a partner before marriage.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

My background is European. I was raised "old school". I have far too much self respect & self esteem to waste my time living with someone when there is no intention of marriage.

And it is a waste of time when there is no committment or no intentions of committment.

If I want to live with someone else I'll look for a roommate. Another woman.

At least then I won't have to be bothered with perceived obligations of having sex, etc. with what is a freeloader who'll ultimately contribute nothing to my life in the long term.

[CurrentJohn]

If you feel there is no value of staying together unless you get married, then you don`t value that person enough to stay or marry them in the first place. So I see it absolutely the opposite way of how you see it and I`m also European. You stay with someone because you love them and want to stay with them, not because you are bound by a slave contract you call marriage and don`t want the hassle of a divorce.

[WolfBaneHunter78]

@CurrentJohn ROFL. Marriage isn't a "slave contract" you uneducated welfare leeching chav, as obvious by your low comprehension of the question asked. It is an alligance of two people in the betterment of each other. ... And what you blubber about has nothing to do with my response to the question. by the way marriage is the definition OF respect but living together with NO alligance - of being nothing more than cheap lousy friends with benefits, etc. - is DISRESPECTFUL

[CurrentJohn]

Seems like your old fashioned ancient education by your parents does not only fail to show you modern values of life beside praising god and getting married immediately to someone you will have to divorce or hate for the rest of your life but you also have no respect for others yourself and now act like a damn hypocrite. You talking about respect is as laughable as Donald Trump talking about being the most wise, intelligent and reasonable president in the history of the United States. You are so much of a joke that you can`t even insult me because I can only laugh and pity you for the person you are. I feel sorry for the guy that will ever get bound in a slave contract with someone like you, not knowing what kind of monster he is going to be bound to

[CurrentJohn]

PS: It is also absolutely no surprise to me now why you are so hung up on marriage. Any other sane man would immediately try to run away from you once he finds out your personality. So you need some way to at least make it harder for them to get away from you. So yeah, really no surprise about why you think that way. You don`t just need a marriage contract, what you need is an actual chain to keep the poor guy trying to escape from you.

[Little_Bumblebee]

It's just important it's been talked about.

I'm not sure I want to be married at all.
What I want from a partner is commitment, trust and other stuff. I can still get that without getting married.

My aunt and uncle have been together for as long as I remember and they're not married.

[Kaamraj]

Men should be careful about this and check their local laws, there is something called as common law, you live with a woman (co-habitate) long enough and she becomes your wife. Apart from that remember that men dont owe you commitment so I think such an arrangement favors men, they get all the benefits of a wife without the commitment.

[Fireguy17]

As long as both parties are in agreement with not wanting to be married, then sure.

If you enter a relationship with no intentions of every getting married the you really need to make sure your partner knows that, otherwise you are wasting their time.

[CurrentJohn]

There is no real value to marriage. If you love each other you will stay together anyway, if you don`t love each other anymore you will eventually get divorced anyway. Marriage is just a burden that you put on each other without any real merit.

[Unit1]

It very well works.

Marriage is just a legally binding contract and it costs money for what? Governments approval and recognition? Whoever invented marriage (and it's dissolution) was certainly a clever business minded person and is a great example to show in business schools. I wonder what color the Ferrari or Lamborghini of some of these attorneys are - if they even fit into one.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yes it is acceptable to me to live with my partner without any plans for marriage.

Marriage isn't always neccessary for long term commitment.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Perfectly fine so long as both partners are on the same page.

[Still-alive]

But you personally would be ok with this?

[Sirenboobzilla]

It's currently my living situation. I expressed to my partner that I don't really have any wish to get married I'm order to feel like he's committed to me. He was ok with it. We've been living together for 2 years now

[madhatters4]

i think it's fine. i wouldn't live with someone i had no long term relationship and/or marriage plans with. but it's fine for others to do what they want

[menina]

Yes, it's totally acceptable to me. Not every relationship result in marriage. Besides not all couples have the goal of getting married.

[provokeesmokee]

I live with my partners before marriage becomes an option.

I won't marry someone I've not lived with.

[goaded]

We've been together 25 years now, with grown children and never any intention to get married. It might have saved us some tax, that's the only real advantage.

[LiamJHayden]

Adults can make whatever choices they want in this area.

[Still-alive]

I'm talking about you individually. would you be ok with this?

[ArrowheadSW]

I think it is acceptable. Marriage certainly isn't for everyone.

[petitedollbabee]

Yes, my partner and I live together and neither of us want marriage.

[soe11]

Me and girlfriend live more than two years now with peace and prosperity, healthy and happy, every day is new day for us.

[ThatRandomOne]

I don't see a problem. Not everyone wants to marry. And not wants to live with another anyway.

[msc545]

If you are a man, you have to be mentally ill to even consider marriage in the US for any reason.

[Sparkie460]

When my wife and I moved in together we didn't know if we were going to get married or not

[whistlingwh0res]

100% fine I am still living with my parents when I go back to Korea.

[whistlingwh0res]

I am going to drive around my parents car though. They need a driver

[Sitaraxx]

In today's society that's the norm

[Alexz0]

Absolutely it is!

[Cherkez]

Of course that's exactly my plan

[ShesRad80]

sure, why not
