We will first post the wikipage on cohabitation because it contains much historical information, though COVID-19 has changed the parameters, one of which we have already spoken of in the Rubber Room thread: real estate coercion. Another coercion that is intimately linked is increased drug-alcohol use due to the pandemic.
Cohabitation
'....People may live together for a number of reasons....to save money, because of the convenience of living with one another, or a need to find housing....most couples listed reasons such as spending more time together convenience-based reasons, and testing their relationship.

'....The principle is that we want people to stay in their household units primarily....They
should just test the strength of their relationship and decide whether one wishes to be permanently resident in another household.'
As mentioned earlier, American Woman's choices are constricted by this either/or thinking, whereas ownership of a small dwelling carries the advantage of mobility and flexibility. If the Other does not work out due to vetting and discovery, say, of susceptibility to drug use over time, the couple is not bound to any real estate pimp-mediator, after all of the work done to eliminate the theologian pimp from the bedroom.
Thus, an alternative in the future should be a form of tiny-home village whose units can be economically moved elsewhere should the relationship falter. As economical as being loaded one panel at a time onto a pickup truck. The pathology to precisely study here is the one that also gives the same either/or choice in regulations and building codes that stipulate and define permanency or mobility.
