That poor girl. She bought the “you don’t know someone until you live with them, so live with them first.”
Marriage is about two people saying they’re vulnerable enough to risk their entire lives with the other person and withhold nothing…even an escape route of things don’t work out.
Living together is “I only like you this much. I will see if I love you enough to marry you. But for now, let’s have sex, but still withhold major portions of our lives with each other.””
There’s no stability in that and that’s not love.
What they’re actually doing is living togther until someone better comes along.
