Your answer to your origional question would be.....?
I think that any two people, same or opposite sex, who want to co-habitate in a non-sexual relationship should do so, without telling, and being fully aware that should anything be said...then she will pay the higher price; just like fraternization in a place of employment, or like in the case of fornication or adultery. Men are blameless under society and UC-Biblical standards. I am not sure why God even bothered to create women unless he understood the need for men to have a punching bag to blame all their shortcomings on.

Rhonda that is one of the stupidest post you have ever posted!
And don't bother responded that you were just kidding.

Without telling? Why not tell? If it's fine, then it's fine. If not, then don't do it. Personally, I would advise my children against--or my sisters for that matter. My nephews especially, because I KNOW what their minds would be on, whether the girl's was or not.
Women ought to be concerned with their own reputations, even if it is unfair or unequal. I wouldn't want people in our community having any reason to think I believe cohabitation, or, "shacking up" is acceptable. What I do reflects on Christ.

Men are not blameless. That is ridiculous. Not in society, and especially not under UC Biblical standards.
Good grief. Either you are way over sensitive or every man in your life has been the devil himself. I can't even identify with the way you think sometimes. A punching bag? My husband doesn't blame his shortcomings on me. And even if he did, I wouldn't let him. I'm stronger than that, and I can stand toe-to-toe with someone and defend myself if I NEED to.

Just want to say that I'm not a woman who things that I'm a punching bag for any man, nor do I believe that men need women to be punching bags to blame their shortcomings on.

Okay, I was just wondering how we should reconcile the following statements that you've made in the past few days.

I am just curious because the world thinks nothing of it. What doth the church say?

Well at least I do. I'd rather just have a lover right now than a husband. I need pampered, and spoiled, not taken for granted and ignored. I need some romance.
I think these posts tell us all we need to know.
Rhoni was not joking when she started this thread.
