It is very advantages to be single, that is true. You are ersponsible for only ones self. you are free to come and go as you please. You have no ties, no extra financial responsibility, no extra mouths to ffed. you can spend more time on activities that you enjoy ( recreation) , or you can spend more time with your partner if you have one. You are independent and free in life, but you are sub to very lonely as you grow older.I do not feel that cohabitation is a great way to find out how someone is before marriage because things change when you get married, nostly for the worse i am sure. People living together will actually postpone you ever getting married, because they are already where they want to be in life, so they see it as already being married, thought it is not legite. Sure people do it to take the financial burden off of one that is not able to afford a place by onesself, but that does not mean that they are learning what married life is like.
