What is your view on cohabitation ?

[Khun Ying Pojaman]

If given a chance, would you cohabit with your b/f or g/f ?

I have noticed Korean dramas continue to preach moral values so much so that cohabitation is shunned, but not sure if such values correspond to the real time situation in Seoul.

In Taiwan, it's the complete opposite. Cohabitation has been portrayed in Taiwanese dramas and variety shows as 'way of life' for most Taiwanese.

In Singapore, 90% live in HDB and because you can't buy a HDB unless you're married, the system prevents young couples from cohabiting.

Cohabitation is absolutely necessary before marriage. Need to find out the other person's shitty habits and see whether u can tolerate.

Aiya if dun like still can divorce, but very troublesome esp if have kids. So save urself the headache and try staying together first is better.

So you're okay if the woman you marry was another man's guinea pig in a prolonged cohabitation ?

Call me old fashion, but I think it is unfair to the girl. They have their reputation at stake. If u truly love her, I'm sure u can put up with nasty habits on her part. The fact is man got more nasty habits than girl. Ok lah mayb the scary part is to see her without makeup or all kinds of cream they put on their face. If u can't commit den dun, generally girls take this type of thing far more serious than guys. Unless u can stay in a same flat but sleep in a different room, like house mates. If u can't better not. Just my 2 cts worth.

In today's world, very hard to find virgin wife liao. Even if didn't cohabit, most likely kanna "open door" in their late teens or early twenties by their 1st or 2nd bf.

Since no more virgin wife, cohabit may be the next best thing to test-drive living together before committing half of your wealth to the other partner. In Singapore, with the women's charter, signing the married certificate is same as signing half of your assets to your wife.

Buy car, you need to test drive

 

[cooleo]

Buy Car u only need to commit for 10 years, but u also test drive.

Marry a woman u need to commit your whole life (even divorce still pay alimony hor!) So u ask whether need to 'test' leh?

Cohabitation is disgusting. Offenders should be jailed.

1. bro, cool man!

Well... how about say both has gone steady for 3 yrs and decided to get married next year. Then from now til the wedding can cohabit? Personally I would think its better to "test drvie" 1st before getting married. At least stay for 3 months then see if get used to each other.

Peddling on line sex banners is worse. It encourages prostitution which is a mortal sin.

Riding a bicycle is also disgusting. Under the false pretense of saving the environment, cyclists often pose inconveniences to motorists and vehicles. Those useless buggers also do not pay road tax, even though technically they are riding on the roads.

Thus, to conclude....cyclists are the vermin of society and are as disgusting as pimps.

Ok, if no sex. Just staying together, I'm ok with that. I got friend also like that, gfrd stayed with him before marriage but she sleeps in the same room as his mum. Got to respect ur woman, but if she threw herself at u and drug ur drinks with sex pills. Then up to u liao. I personally dun believe in pre marital sex, or extra marital affair, when come to chabo I got 洁癖，so I dun share.
