I would never and will never SHACK up. I think most people think that it prepares them for possible marriage. But I think it doesn't because their mindset is not that of someone married. They both know they can leave at any time with out any serious reprecussions. I doubt seriously that both people are completely thinking of a full commitment while living together. Because if they were, wouldn't they just get married?! Also, it'd be too easy for someone to constantly throw in the other's face, "You're not my wife/husband". It'd be like, then what's the point of living together if it's the same as just being in a non-shack up relationship. Until YOU and I decide to become a WE for life, like AKA2D '91 said, 'I can visit you, you can visit me, but YOU need your OWN place, I need my own place'.
