I have been dating my girlfriend for almost six months. I am in no way ready to or even considering getting married anytime soon. Recently, I have been considering and discussing with my girlfriend the possibility of getting an apartment together. Our relationship is great right now and the main purpose of living together is to cut down on living expenses. Instead of paying two rents, two power bills, two cable bills, two internet bills, and so forth, we would split each bill.

My main and really my only concern is whether we are moving a little too fast. I've enjoyed the last six months with my girlfriend, but I've never lived with a girl I was dating. This would be my first time. Are we rushing things?

How long should you date someone before living together?

Rihanna recently came into the studio to discuss how dating in the spotlight can be difficult, but many would argue that dating in general is difficult in itself. What do you think the hardest part about dating is?

The times are changing.  People are becoming increasingly liberal involving their relationships and sexual partners.  Society is becoming more accepting.  More and more people are entering consensual nonmonogamous relationships, relaionships where both partners agree to be nonmonogamous with one another.  Common forms of nonmonogamous relationships are orgies, open relationships, open marriages, swinging, and polygynandry.  An orgie is an act of group sex.  People involved in an orgie can be either single or in a relationship.  Open relationships and marriages allow either partner to have sexual partners outside of their own marriage.  Swinging is similar to an open marriage, but takes place in a more planned out environment between couples.  Polygynandry is a group marriage, in which the members of the relationship live together and consider themselves to be all married to one anotether.  We see examples of nonmonogamous relationships through various media outlets, and many of us may know someone, or have been someone in a relationship such as this.  Change is good, right?  Yet, people are also getting divorced at a higher rate, and interpersonal relationships as a whole seem much less solid.

So, do nonmonogamous relationships work?  Can they work?
(Keep in mind, I'm not refering to those who live so because of their religion.)
