Top 5 Advantages Of A Live-In Relationship
4. Less social obligations and more personal freedom
“One of my cousins recently got married and I was shocked at all the social obligations she was going through, from meeting her husband’s family to making him meet her own family. Both of them are usually busy on the weekends simply socializing with each other’s acquaintances. This is not the case in a live-in relationship”, added Patty. While pointing out this benefit of being in a live-in relationship, she also mentioned that Jim was pretty supportive of her going out to do her own thing during the weekends. “He likes to call his mates over for a few beers at the apartment, so I really have no choice but to go out by myself with my friends”, laughed Patty.
5. No complicated financial issues
“One of the biggest benefits of being in a live-in relationship is that there are really no complicated financial issues. Jim and I both pay rent, both pay for the utility bills and for the groceries. I guess all this would change if we got married and we’d have to set up joint accounts, budgets and much more. Definitely sounds more boring, doesn’t it?”, asked Patty with a grin on her face. Managing joint finances after getting married does seem to get a bit more complicated than being in a live-in relationship.
