I live in a country where living together while not married is very much frowned upon. Those aren't my views, but they are the ones of the society which surrounds me. Therefore I'm just curious about lifestyles which aren't even possible here because I haven't met any people who lead them. I am not asking anyone to explain themselves, I tried to make that clear and certainly did not mean to offend anyone(sorry if I have). I was just asking out of curiosity, the way you would inquire about anything which is out of the ordinary with respect to your every day experiences(and in the society I grew up in, this is very much out of the ordinary -- That doesn't mean I'm making any kind of value judgement, it's just a fact).
