You make such a great point. People should not take any step in a relationship (aka living together, or other) because of cultural expectations or outside pressure. This is likely to lead to heartache down the road. Its better to be authentic to oneself, even if that means doing something outside the cultural norm. Just because our culture tells us its the "right" and "only" good way does not mean thats true.<br />Thank you again for your thoughts!missbrooke28https://www.blogger.com/profile/02884506624876331623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300445059473801825.post-12406906245798869982018-07-19T22:03:21.071-04:002018-07-19T22:03:21.071-04:00I like this.

I actually shared this even on my wall. <br />My take on this is simple: <br />for as long as both parties are clear in what they are getting into - whether that's being married, living in together, living separate but still maintain the status, I guess thats fine. Different set-ups have their own sets of pros and cons. <br />But if the decision was influenced, forced, or was just a result of proving love for the other, then be prepared. Why? Because someone will be benefitting from it while the other one is on the losing end. And that will also cause a lot of heartaches and resentments eventually.
