Live-in Relationships; Staying Together - Page 4

@Niha: Thank you! Very well put! After what Dev did, she will certainly be wary of any sort of marital chord until she is certain.

@Polki: How many women get betrayed in marriage? So many! Their husbands cheat or even when sleeping with them could think of another woman. So, sex in marriage is sometimes like prostitution of the mind and a convenience rather than something sacred and based on MUTUAL DESIRE.

In fact, in marriage there is less of WITH CONSENT SEX and more of fulfilling an obligation or a duty!

And sometimes in marriage, sex is a tool for control!

i agree wiz everythin u have said... in fact at times marriage does become a burden on a woman i mean it was until recentli zat rape within a marriage was considered illegal....

Wow, once we start talking about Girl Power we can't stop. Amazing how a simple question about whether we support live in relationships or not has turned into a discussion about marriage, sex, rape, pregnancies, abortions and women in war. I am loving it. Maybe you should change the title of the tread Bri, to something, like 'All the strong women out there voice your opinions." 😆

I think if more people discuss these issues they won't remain taboo for too long.

I dont know I have mixed views about live in relationships..Real life love stories arent as clear cut as onscreen love stories, and the real life guy isnt always a gentlement. Live in relationships might just expose girls to more abuse, rape, and make them vulnerable in other senses that they might not be able to come out of these relationships. Yes, people promote live in relationships, but, tell me something, how many men in India are willing to marry a girl who has been with someone else? So, how are girls going to move on if the relationship doesnt workout, and they want to marry someone else who they think are right for them. No matter how much the Indian society promotes modern thinking, the truth is there are not very many men who are willing to go for a girl who has had such relationship. So, where does that leave those girls, if the live in relationship turns sour? Other things, yes guys will promote these relationships, but, who is to tell that guys will not use such intitutions to satisfy their lust. These kinds of questions do bother me for sure when it comes to promoting live in relationships in India.

😆😆😆 sooo true... but its true though women really need to stand up for wat they believe in or else they will always be at the bottom of the food chain(if zat makes any sense at all😆😆😆)

@ Savitan; I hate you so much that I love you. Loved your answer about marrying other people if Indians don't want you. I have already taken your advise, not because an Indian wouldn't except me (actually I don't know because I never tried) but because I feel in love.

Plus I think most Indian men would be scared of my liberal ways.

I just did crunches yesterday and my abdominal muscles are hurting and as I read your post I couldn't stop myself from laughing. And now thanks to your 'duniya jaye tel lene' I am in so much pain.

I hate you because I am pain because of you, I love you because you are wonderful.

Sundae Fudge: Great post as always. Me believe in an individual's right to be happy. It's for the individual to decide about her or his life and the way it should be lead. I would like to see living relationship in this show. It'll bring something different on television if presented in the correct way. Plus, it's slowly becoming part of Indian life ... so why not show what is part of Indian society.

True! Just imagine the number of bride burnings, sati, dowry deaths that have happened in the name of the SANCTITY of MARRIAGE!

I m ready to watch something which is different and can challenge the usual norms of the society👍🏼..My personal view is that its better for Geet to live in with someone like Maan rather than become a sacrificing queen and go back to her so called fake husband Dev just because the society in the future might ask her to follow the sati-savitri route👎🏼...I m not saying Geet should never get married to Maan...but I believe Marriage is not the end of the road..Geet is just a young girl..she has a long way to go before she settles down into matrimony..why can't she complete her education first...establish herself ...enjoy the phases of love with her boyfriend like any other young girl and then finally think of settling down😳...
