Live-in relationship...To be or not to be?

It has kind of become like a cult where young boys and girls from small town come to big cities in search of better education or jobs. With the little amount of money they bring or get forces them to share a room and then stay there with a lot of people they know and people they do not know.

It also becomes a bit obvious that these young people while away from home falls into love more quickly then expected. Then they start to live together with their loved ones in a single room before marriage. What happens next is no hidden story as it is time tested and heard. But is it right or not?

Ok I do understand that India was once referred as the land of the Kamasutra but why prove it yet again. Today we are sex conscious but shy people of this proud country. We are trying to westernize ourselves by adopting their means and measures of life. Live-in being one of them. Again it is ok to live together with your partner and have healthy sex but are we prepared for it in true terms?

I mean is it really ok to do this. Stay away from home, tell parents that you are with your friend of same sex and then you get laid each day. Not our culture type I say. I mean our culture is all about staying covered. But I guess a too much of west has gone into us where we are crossing every limit possible. I still feel that it is way too early for people of opposite sex to live together...

As an American I don’t know a lot about Indian culture but I do know a lot about living together (having lived with quite a few women.)

People live together in the States for various reasons. But I think one of the major ones is because a lot of us are a bit scared of commitment.

In the American society NOTHING is permanent. You don’t have to commit to anything for any length of time. Marriage goes against 200 years of American progress.

I suggest you be careful following everything the West does. No one is really driving.

See its good to be proud of your culture but you need to understand the nature of the time now. One who doesn't change with time, lacks behind in every aspect of life. Today's youth is very open and free and want to live life on their own terms and conditions.

I don't think its wrong till the time a 3rd person is not affected by it. Instead i think these kind of relations give an opportunity to both the partners to know each other better, in case they plan to get married.

You mean they should change partners till the time finally get someone for marriage? Then what about the 'character' of the individual, which gets a lot of weightage in india at the time of marriage. This can also expose them to the STDs.
