Rebecca Thorman What do you all think about co-habitation prior to marriage? Everyone I know seems to be moving in together or already living together, although I've always had the romantic notion that I would wait until engagement/marriage. Is that outdated now?

I'm not worried about Ty thinking ill of my opinion, but he's reacting without reading and blowing out of proportion things I'm saying. When I replied to try to explain that he'd misconstrued my point, he (ironically) replied saying that I wasn't getting his point. I don't think that re-explaining what I've already explained will somehow seduce Ty into considering other points of view or thinking critically about what is being said, so instead of arguing with a brick wall, I remove myself from the debate. That's all :)

Wanted to give you a quick update. Thank you again for all your wonderful comments. I did ultimately decide to move in with my boyfriend. I published a post on it this morning - http://bit.ly/9LiSsw - I read each and every one of your comments and took each to heart, and appreciated you taking the time to have such a smart dialogue!

Ashley Wysocki I turned off comment notifications because I don't want to get replies to the original poster instead of my own comment but I'm still receiving these comments. Is there any way to stop this?

Ashley Wysocki Hi Penelope, huge fan of you and your blog and so thankful for all the great advice and personal stories you share. I was wondering, what do you think are the most important areas of knowledge to read about? As a college student, I'm looking to become a more educated and well rounded person (I do have a specific focus for becoming a master in something, don't worry) so any kinds of suggestions and/or book recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I used to force myself to read an article in the automotive section of the NYT (do they still have that section? I think it's a special section.) I forced myself to read economic theory when I had a friend who knew a lot. I hated it, but I learned how to talk to him. It's a way to teach yourself to do stuff that is intellectually scary.
