What do you think of live-in relationships?

I'm ok with live-in relationships, as I think it's a good way of 2 persons living together & getting to know each others habits & way of living, be they good or bad. It's not too common here in Singapore though, maybe partly because it is an Asian country where many are still conservative. Another reason is that in order for a couple to qualify for buying a flat here, they need to be married. Otherwise, they will only qualify for private condonminiums which can cost at least 3 time as a flat would.

i think that live-in is not good if you don't have plan to settle down. to be live-in for good is not good at all. live-in relationship doesn't assure security, like for example, the girl got pregnant and the boy don't wanna marry the girl. The girl can't do anything. There's no security in their relationship. Also, there's no formality. Whereas, if your married you have many priveledges, like the equal division of both of your belongings. In my country, philippines, people have different perspectives or views in life and relationships so people here can do whatever they want. it's a free country.

i think it is a wonderful thing.you too can stay together without actually being liable to each other.so if you feel that it is not working out then you can walk out no questions asked
