Do Polish couples live together without being married?

Do polish couples live together in Poland before marriage?

Some of them do, some of them don't.

*sorry for stealing your line, Seanus*

yes... plus her or his parents, grandparents and sibilings... in one apartment, aprox. 50 sq ft...

and then, if both of them survive this situation, Poles get married...

real school of life...

No they don't, they live in separate apartments until every family member has been introduced to the other family members in the other family (even those living in the USA, Kazakhstan etc) then they wear black clothing and meet each other a last time before the wedding (similar to what you would call "date") but it's all very sad, we Poles are very sad people, just look at the Smolensk tragedy, we can mourn in a week!

Then when marriage is done we all eat each other!

hehe...


on a serious note... yes, couples live together if their financial situation allows it...
if not, even after getting married, they have to suck it up and deal with the family...

It's actually plk123's line.

Oh, is it? My apologies to plk123 then.

lol.. no worries.. i have not copy written it as of yet. :D

That's ok, Torqy :) If it works, please use it as much as possible. Unlike the main man in America, plk123, I have copyrighted it and actively encourage its use.

Cohabitation is relatively common, I'd guess. Konkubinat or sth like that in Polish.

Even those do live together, they are just like friend, sleeping in separate room. Why you are asking this? Poland is devoted Catholic country, nothing can change that, and how can you expect Poles to break rules?

Looks very similar to Russians in Moscow, ;)

what rules does everyone have to follow like sheep this is 21st centry things have to change cannot live in the dark ages

I guess in the same way that the other rules are broken.

In 2013? Yes, some do. Why?

In fact, very few Poles do and they can be met only among the educated "nouveaux riches" or artists.
I know that Polish women have the lowest rate in taking oral contraception in all UE (cf UE sources) and I would not be surprised to find out that Polish non married couples also have the lowest rate in UE (together with countries like Italy..).

Absolutely


And things will change.....

Why do you "westerners" always have to display how ignorant you are?
