when one is looking to find an excuse to live together....it only requires at toothbrush.

“Owning three toothbrushes and finding that they are always at the wrong house when you are getting ready to go to bed wears on you,” said Amanda Hawn, a 28-year-old writer who set up housekeeping near San Francisco with her boyfriend, Nate Larsen, a real estate analyst, after shuttling between his apartment and one she shared with a friend. “Moving in together has simplified life,” Ms. Hawn said. "

yeah i know how tough it must be and how it must just wear you out to realize that your toothbrush is m.i.a. - geez talk about thin skinned - hopefully they will never misplace their car keys !

Buz has a point -- anyone who will decide to live in one place or another based on toothbrush issues sure sounds like the acme of shallow. Mind you, I have my shallow points as well, and being shallow is no crime as such.

Also, based on practical issues, I fully understand why marriage is not a top priority for many couples these days. It only concerns me that when children are involved, the shallowness of the domestic attachments is almost certain to harm the child-rearing process. That, more than anything, should be a cause for serious concern.
