I'm from the old school, where society took a dim view of couples living together in a commonlaw relationship. I remember telling my kids if they did that, invariably one of the parties would end up getting hurt...and sure enough it happened. I think the main reason is that there isn't the depth of commitment that there is when couples get married.

I'm sorry to hear about your breakup Peter. She obviously wasn't the one for you, and when the right one comes along, you both won't hesitate to tie the knot.

I'm also with Cowperson, in that the experience shouldn't make you become bitter. I've seen that happen to friends, and it seems like a complete waste if time and energy, and accomplishes nothing but misery.

Please take care of yourself, and realize that time cures all things.
