It really depends on laws on your area, in some places she owns 50% of your **** after living with you for 30 days, Common Law it's called.

This was a law for back when all men were d1ck slingers and any woman in Ur house for a month was preggo

Somehow I managed to never end up living with a woman I was dating. I suggested it to a woman I was seeing once, and we broke it off less than 2 weeks later.

After reading a lot of material on the subject, I'd rather live alone unless it was someone I was very serious with.

The Myth
There is a common misperception that if you live together for a certain length of time (seven years is what many people believe), you are common-law married. This is not true anywhere in the United States.

States That Recognize Common Law Marriage
Only a few states recognize common law marriages, and each has specific stipulations as to what relationships are included:

  • Alabama
  • Colorado
  • District of Columbia
  • Georgia (if created before 1/1/97)
  • Idaho (if created before 1/1/96)
  • Iowa
  • Kansas
  • Montana
  • New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only)
  • Ohio (if created before 10/10/91)
  • Oklahoma (possibly only if created before 11/1/98. Oklahoma’s laws and court decisions may be in conflict about whether common law marriages formed in that state after 11/1/98 will be recognized.)
  • Pennsylvania (if created before 1/1/05)
  • Rhode Island
  • South Carolina
  • Texas
  • Utah
If you live in a State that Does Recognize Common Law Marriage
If you live in one of the above states and you “hold yourself out to be married” (by telling the community you are married, calling each other husband and wife, using the same last name, filing joint income tax returns, etc.), you can have a common law marriage (for more information on the specific requirements of each state, see Legal Information and Resources by State). Common law marriage makes you a legally married couple in every way, even though you never obtained a marriage license. If you choose to end your relationship, you must get a divorce, even though you never had a wedding. Legally, common law married couples must play by all the same rules as “regular” married couples. If you live in one of the common law states and don’t want your relationship to become a common law marriage, you must be clear that it is your intention not to marry. The attorneys who wrote Living Together (additional information below) recommend an agreement in writing that both partners sign and date: “Jane Smith and John Doe agree as follows: That they’ve been and plan to continue living together as two free, independent beings and that neither has ever intended to enter into any form of marriage, common law or otherwise.”

If You Live in a State that Does Not Recognize Common Law Marriage
There is no way to form a common law marriage, no matter how long you live with your partner. There is one catch: if you spend time in a state that does recognize common law marriage, “hold yourself out as married,” and then return or move to a state that doesn’t recognize it, you are still married (since states all recognize marriages that occurred in other states). However, this is murky legal territory and we don’t recommend experimenting with it!

Much of the information on this fact sheet comes from an excellent do-it-yourself legal guide called Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples, by attorneys Toni Ihara, Ralph Warner, and Frederick Hertz (2008).

I feel like this is likely not a good idea under most circumstances. However, if I felt like my LTR is truly worth it (and I think I would need to have been with the person for a minimum 6 month period), I would under the following bare-minimum circumstances:

1. She moves in with me. I am not moving to her place as this gives her a huge control over the relationship.

2. She has to be younger than me and preferably in her 20s and at least a HB 7.

3. The least amount of crazy possible. No Cluster B qualities and she has to essentially defer to me as the leader between the two of us.

4. Must have a good relationship with my kid.

If the above are all true, I consider it. However, it is so hard to envision all of those things clicking at once and me still feeling good about a relationship by the 6 month mark.

If you want to see the REAL woman...Live with her for 2 years. And she will see the REAL you too.

But go into it thinking "this could be forever" rather than "Let's see if this works"

Only in a state where there is no common law.

Also, she must believe in meritocracy, not be a parasite and not be crazy or have huge red flags.

Never move in with a woman you are not married to.You will incur the wrath of God,as well as losing all your power as a man.Getting married is spiritual and more than just a piece of paper.

About 10 years ago i lived on a boat, The Marina where i was staying there was a retired couple. He had a boat(theyre big enough for a family), he lived on. and he purchased his wife another boat and she moored 2 spaces down. They would go out shopping etc, but you would always hear her leave his boat to return to her own and do her own thing, I sat in disbelief as she worshipped this guy, my blue pill beta thought he was a bit of a misogynist. Why wouldnt he want to live with his fair maiden?

Now i look back this guy was a red pill GOD
