So...maybe it is a sin to live together before being married. But when your parents kick you out after being with a guy for like a week, I'm sure marriage is not the first thing on your mind. I moved in with the first person who offered me a place to live. Yes, we are still together, and yes, we still live together. Maybe that is not morally right. However, I am a mere twenty years of age and am not yet ready to marry. Just because I live with somebody, who I did not necessarily choose to live with and did not want to live with does not mean that I should marry him. A year and a half is a relatively short time period to determine that I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and I am not saying that I don't. I am just saying that is not something that I am ready to commit to. Just because we live together, not by choice, does not mean that I should have to make that decision prematurely. My family does not approve. So what? Thanks for letting me know, but I really do not care about them. I am pretty sure they forced me into this situation in the first place. Now, it is a "tragedy." Thanks for lunch, but no thanks for coming into my home and giving my boyfriend and I a lecture about what to do with the rest of our lives. I know where you stand, but honestly, if it were up to us, we probably still would not live together- not because we don't love each other, but for other reasons. And as for the whole church thing, us not being married has nothing to do with it. But thanks for the free advice I never asked for.
