Good for you guys you're Shacking up! her parents must be sooooo proud. Anyway did you know the chances are that if you guys ever get married you have a greater chance for divorce than people who don't live together first.

And if she just slept over well that's a whole other story.

I'm just curious where you got that supposed fact from? It seems that your chance of survival in a marriage would be greater if you knew you were able to live with each other first? I mean, I'm not one to talk, I lived with my g/f for a year and it turned out to be a nightmare.....but at least we weren't married yet!!!

I'm not sure where the fact is from, but I have read that too while researching for a paper I wrote on divorces or somthin a couple years ago for one of my classes...not positive if it's true, but I can vouch for him not making it up.

Thank you. It wasn't my opinion just what I've read.

It is a true statistic, we talked about in a sociology class I took as an example of a spurious correalation. In other words cohabitation doesn't cause divorce but in fact people that would cohabitate are more likely to get a divorce regardless of whether they cohabitated with their future spouse first. One of the thoughts on why is that people who would never cohabitate have a stronger religous belief that says that divorce is a major moral problem and are willing to stay in an unhappy relationship longer. There were a few other thoughts on the subject but I don't remember them all.

Anyway, if my GF snoozed my alarm I'd be super pissed but she knows better I set my alarms with very little extra time. AND we use seperate alarms so it'd be pretty bad form of her to do it.

<------never went to college

not bad at all......its during add/drop and alot of profs dont even take attendance......by junior year i didnt even attend most of my classes at all until the second week of school.

I figured out that I know how to read the syllabus and the first chapter without having to wake up early to be told to do so.

Well....you have the bonus of popping their cherry and training them how to do all the fun stuff, so I wouldn't say it's all bad. :evil:

As long as there is less than 2 years age difference, it's all good, no?

same here. i skipped the majority of my first week classes one semester and was fine...hell, i skipped MOST of my classes one semester and was fine...i seriously only went to the labs and still pulled a 3.4 (whilst working two jobs, mind you).

as for the cohabitation thing, my fiancee and I have been living together for two years (bought a house together over a year ago) and are EXTREMELY happy we lived together for a while before officially deciding to get married. high divorce rates in this country have little to do with whether or not you live together - the majority of people who get a divorce would have gotten a divorce whether they lived together or not - it's just the way things were meant to pan out.

not saying that either way is wrong or bad - if you're unhappy, get out of it....but next time, think a bit harder before jumping INTO it.

/not getting divorced
//because we'd have to split up the pets

Not in California anyway. My brother dated this girl for a while whose ex-boyfriend was in jail for stat rape because her parents called the cops on him when they caught them having sex. This girl was 15 and the boyfriend was 16 at the time, IIRC.

That's so idiotic. That guy is going to have to register as a sex offender everywhere he lives for the rest of his life. His neighbors won't know his offense was having sex with his girlfriend, they'll assume he molests little kids. I'm guessing the age of consent in CA is 16, otherwise the girl could have been charged with statutory rape as well. Stupid parents.

NFS4, how do you know she's a minor? If she's in college, she's probably over the age of consent in most states.

I would never marry somebody that I didn't live with first. How do you know if you can live with each others day to day habits if you don't know them? You dont' exactly get a first hand experience of them unless you live with the person. Why is there a greater chance for divorce if you live with the person first?

I don't think it's the act of living together that leads to divorce, but the type of people who would live
together before a marriage. A couple that hasn't lived together before marriage is probably not as
religious, and wouldn't feel as obligated to stay together for the sake of religion. With that said, I
don't see how you could possibly marry somebody you haven't lived with.
