Is divorce such a bad thing?
I mean most people enter marriage with the best intentions. If things don't work out, are you supposed to remain married and miserable? There are plenty of people on this message board and in real life who are divorced and prefer that to a miserable marriage.
My friend lived with her bf without any intention of marriage or a ring. After less than a year, it was over. She was so grateful that their biggest decision was who kept the sofa and chairs and not how to split their assets and the custody of children. She learned many things about him that she could only learn by living with him, things that made it impossible to build a life with him.
Also, free love and living together started long before the baby boomers. I think it just became trendy in the 1960s.
