Live-in relationships is not acceptable by Indians. We are not in that mould. Either a joint family or nuclear family is the basis of our Society. But , there is nothing to get depressed and take it seriously. Nowadays , nothing should shake a person and everything needs to be taken into the stride accepted. If something or relationship is not working out , let us look for options. We are witnessing so many arranged marriages are failing , divorces within 3 / 6 mths -- divorce had a social stigma and was a sin 5 years ago. Today , we have thusands of singles -- mostly women in Mumbai , Delhi , Pune , Bhopal , Banagalore -- and the likes and to lesser numbers in other cities. Why is it so ? everywhere , there is a focus on performance. just like a job , personal life became target and performance driven. -- Not happy for whatever reason , move on. In a way , it is good ,as disgrintled men and women need not live unhappily for decades like earlier.
but for Live-in relationships , this should not be encouraged , eats into the vitals.It is a disease , which we cannot live with. It hits the family system -- the backbone of Indian society. Never encourage Live ins.
