I know a few guys who shack up with their girls( vice versa) just to make sure that hes the only one doing her..its sick to think this way cos if there ain't any trust in any relationship, then its a bust

my worries ain't with anyone else decidtion. Shaking up doesnt deter unfaithulness, the unfaithful do. it just hurts alot of lot more when its under your roof..when I first lived with my babies mom, she cheated on me withour roomate, My bestest friend at the time, loved her like a sister..when evil comes a knocking, it doesnt care whos on the other side of what door...

No. Things are not the same living together and being married.
Living together is just playing house in some cases to some men. Everyone wants a true commitment. Sorry, just a woman's point of view.

I've done the live-in thing a couple times, both were serious relationships .... and I treated each as if they were marriage, not roomies or FWB .... there was just a lot less paperwork when it didn't work out.

The commitment should be there way before shacking up, I know my am or i wouldn't be there with her in the first place. and if ya don't shake up, there no commitment?

I think living together, can work out, as long as you are entering that part of a relationship............for the purpose of marriage. As we get older, making sure you are totally compatible is very important. I would never recommend that young adults move in together though, like Angle said, playing house is not a serious LTR.... living together in your 30-40's to me is totally different than living together in your 20's.... Just like having sex outside of marriage is totally different in your 30-40's than it was when you were 16-30. Maybe it is simply because you are truly an adult, instead of pretending you are.

... she cheated on me with our roomate...


Now wasn't that quite predictable? There's only one procedure which makes a person special and different from everyone else - that's what marriage is all about.
In your case - how were you different? All three of you were nothing but roommates....

Angel, it's not just a woman's point of view! Here's at least one guy that feels exactly the same way...if you're gonna share a house, be a real family.

Don't be ashamed..You did a good thing. It's just not for everyone. If it came down to it being my only choice, then I might re-concider.

LOL now this is funny...
Nothing more the roomates, miss th part where i viewed the other person like a sister, well cause I known her for years, she was a comman person by myside, at our breakfast table... before i even started dating my babys mom, so no not expected. hurt just as bad too.

so then Ms marrage is sooo much more bounding then living with some explain all the husbands and wives that cheat on there wife or husband? they just roomates too? It one and the same, or ya shouldnt be doing either in the first place.

If im living with someone, the commitment for me is there. Dont need a peice of paper telling me i view this person as i would family, that i would stand by them threw wind and rain. which i did for our relationship lasted even after this digusesing act.. cheating , not woman on woman.. the fact alone that Im choosing YOU! to be the one i want to go to sleep with next to me, and the first one i wanna feel before i even open my eyes in the morning, makes you more important then a average room mate.

I don't recomand anyone to live with anyone they are not willing to make a commitment with.Thats just plan stupid. I also live outside of the box, I take the meaning of the reality of it much more serious and any title given.
