This tread is bizarre.
OP MYOB>
Your antiquated thought process is absurd.
Your DD is an adult it is her business not yours Full Stop.
Grow up.

Daughter, yes; boyfriend, no.

Also, I’m glad I married DH, but there are some ways in which we’re really incompatible in terms of managing / running a home. There are advantages to learning that sooner rather than later!

It's ageism and it's tedious and ignorant. You may think the only valuable opinions are those of your age peers or those who agree with you but that only illustrates your close minded limitations. If you're lucky you'll get older someday and will look back at your arrogant younger self and be embarrassed.
Don’t care. Thanks for sharing, though!
Wow. Way to prove PP's point.

As weird as it may sound, some people actually live each other and enjoy living together.

You learn a lot about compatability by living with someone. Just have an exit plan and don’t commingle stuff so you can easily separate if needed.
Not commingling is actually always a great idea since 50% of marriages end in divorce
Miserable marriage isn't any better than amicable divorce.

I don't think its a big deal. I literally only got engaged and married bc of my parents' expectation that you don't move in unless you're engaged or married. If we dated longer, we would've figured out we didn't work in a romantic relationship long term.

He got snatched off street with bag over head driven out to the woods handed a shovel to dig his grave. Asked to kneel then they put a gun to head and pulled trigger.
No bullet was in gun. They then said we know where you live we can snatch you again and next time gun will be loaded if you ever get in touch, talk to or get in touch with so and so.
He was tossed back in trunk with hood still on and tosses back in street where he got picked up.
He immediately calls my two friends who tell him let me get this straight you are banging a HS student as a 27 year old man and Dad Told you to stop. You refused. You go to cops with this wild story two man kidnapped you and returned you back to safe spot unharmed a few hours later. After they are done laughing you go home and the two guys just snatch you again and kill you.
He did not call cops and stop seeing girl. It is a shame things no longer are that easy
Two same- aged adults moving in together reminds you of…. This story?
OP is already freaking out for nothing and PP throws in this dark story. Have some mercy on poor OP.

How would you know if you really love them enough to spend your life with them, its not something to be done blindly. Yes, people did arranged marriages and never got divorced but tolerating someone under the pressure of family, culture, religion or finances isn't the same thing.

It’s a classic correlation vs causation issue. In such communities not being married, being a single mom is better for taxes and benefits. And since these communities are less educated and more poor, their kids face more hurdles.

Some people think it’s a new stage in life that they want to experience.
