On shacking up—by a man who’s been there
You gotta give it to this guy. He’s very honest about cohabitation. A few quotes below, but read the whole thing here. (Note: This Web site approaches sexual issues in a way that some may find offensive.) Especially if you’re a single woman.
The upside for a man is:
There are plenty of good reasons to move in with your significant other. For a man, the primary benefit is that the place where he lives suddenly smells great, like lilacs, and fresh meadows and Care Bear farts.
The reality is:
I have moved in with girlfriends, and we’ve both kidded ourselves that it was to save money, that our marriage playacting was a smart financial move—it wasn’t and isn’t. This is probably one of the worst lies couples tell themselves when shacking up.
The bottom line:
I’ve actually said, “We’re going to see if we’re compatible!” What a superficial thing to say. If I love a woman and am compelled to give her access to my rotten DNA, compatibility is moot. I love her totally, and flaws are part of that equation.
