Does anyone remember when it was frowned on to live together with a partner. No marriage.

Words like Living in Sin. Living Over the Brush ? any others?

I remember in the late 80s i lived with partner and the manager where i worked didnt approve, made a comment. How things change? Does anyone know anyone who is still old fashioned about it?

I don't recall anything being said at home about my sisters who lived with various boyfriends in the 80's and 90's. I do remember my mum being a little bit off that my oldest sister wasn't planning on marrying her partner when she was pregnant and that was the early 00's.

Would this make a good bio on Facebook

Happily living in sin with my fancy man.
