Cohabitation

A researcher alleges that “men who cohabit with the women they eventually marry are less committed to the union than men who never lived with their spouses ahead of time.”

Read on, though, and it becomes clearer: “Men who either drift into marriage “through inertia” following a cohabiting arrangement or who are “dragged down the aisle” by women who finally put their feet down are not good marriage risks, he says.”

In other words: Men who don’t really want to get married but are dragged into it by the woman tend not to be good husbands. Well, duh.
