...So, eventually, we bought the house. A naysayer would wonder whether our living together was too soon, which maybe it was, or maybe not...

Well, PLAB stands for consentual adults loving who they want, how they want. It stands for the freedom to make choices that fit circumstances of individuals instead of convenient state marital status coding schemes.

In thinking about this question my first reaction was just to say to myself that we’ve put too much work into our primary relationships to give them up glibly now, for something that seems better but that we haven’t known as long.
