Roommate vs. living alone

These sad creatures should try getting with a girl that they actually like and not moving in together unless they're in love.
The best years of my life were spent living with my girlfriend.
aye :)

It's great, ain't it?
 
As crazy as it sounds, I live alone in the house I've been in for the past 6 years with my mom. She got a loft in June, but being that I had no place else to go I stay here until I can get me a new job and save money a studio apartment...or at least until the bank gets the house back.
 
In my opinion, sharing a residence with someone of the opposite sex really depends on why you've chosen to do so. If it's romantic, then my personal belief is people should get married first; otherwise, they're just setting themselves up for tragedy.

I speak from experience. I lived with an ex-GF for 6 months in Georgia; that situation ended when she decided not to commit, even though she said she loved me. I wound up going back home to Texas (with a severely broken heart), and in the last 15 months since, I've gained a whole new perspective on the risks involved with arrangements like that. No offense to those for whom it actually (and rarely) works long-term, but in my opinion, it's like playing with a sharp knife and expecting to remain unhurt. Love and lifelong commitment really need to coexist; otherwise, it just defeats the point.

So basically what you're saying is, get married and then find out you don't like the person you're living with (and now married to).

Hmmmmmm, makes all the sense in the world. :dry:

Yeah, because people who get married never break up or fall out of love or cheat on eachother.

:rolleyes:

Make sense. :down
 
They only cheat if they're not trustworthy to begin with. You don't have to live with someone in order to trust them; you just have to talk to them enough to realize whether or not their heart is in the right place. As for "not liking" them, even the happiest married couples have those moments. The truest test of love is choosing to do so, even when you don't feel like it. The purpose of dating is ultimately about finding someone you want to marry, and spend the rest of your life with. If you're not willing to be a responsible and committed individual, then you're better off living alone. Otherwise, you're not just risking your life, but theirs as well.
