Thanks for the comment Bella! Yeah it really unfortunate how much emphasis our society places on categorizing people and putting them into “boxes” so we can make snap judgements instead of actually getting to know the individual. I know I can be guilty of it sometimes too and I know it’s human nature but it still sucks. The people who don’t both to get to know you though aren’t worth it in the end and you’re made of all things awesome and those who do get to know you? Well, they are rewarded by getting to know you.

Don’t know if that makes much sense and is kind of a tangent but yeah, I get what you’re saying and it sucks. Thanks for the comment and you too seem like a cool individual. Hope to hear more from/about you!

Thanks for leaving a reply!

Yeah, I realize that our nation was founded on Puritan beliefs but it is 2009. Our parents don’t really care that we are “living in sin” and I think for couples to really last through marriage they should live with each other for awhile before marriage. That way you know what you’re getting into lol. Two of my brothers are married now and lived with their (now) spouse for a few years before marriage and I believe it made their marriage stronger and their resolution to stay together firm.

I wish you luck with college and being with your girl! Thanks again for the comment.

i dont think its as big as a deal as anyone here is making it. I’m not from a really religious area or family, but im about to “live in sin” with my girlfriend. I mean i dont have the money to marry her i’m coming right out of highschool, going straight to Universtiy, working my way through with the scholarships i’ve obtained, but i just dont have the money to throw her the kind of wedding i know she and i would want. I dont have an extra 15,000 dollars just sitting around. I mean i would marry her right here and now, but the thing is, i can’t afford it! is it so bad that i want to be with her for the rest of my life, but can’t marry her out of sheer lack of money. So i plan to attend college save as much money as we can together, get well paying jobs with these degrees, and then when i feel that it would be the responsible thing to do, ill propose. So i see no problem with you and Mack. I say, good job, dont listen to people stuck in the 1800′s.

George and I lived together ‘in sin’ for years before we married. My mother said ‘If he’s good enough to live with, he’s good enough to marry’. Really, Mom?

I pointed out that my five other siblings had all gotten divorced in the previous year, nastily so. So, like being the first to go to college, I was the first to live in sin.

She dropped the subject.
