salam mich, how are you? well i just want to reply to your post, yes living together before marriage is haram [and a big haram], so i don t advice you to ask him for that, but if u are in love with him and you would like to spend your life with him, why not ask him for marriage?! algerian men doesn t respect a lot a women who lives with a man before marriage, so if u marrey him u will be surelly happier with him, they are very caring and responssible with their wives, and he woulden t feels guilty when beeing with u, so happier and more caring and loving, good luck, best wishe sxxx, nissa. *** sorry i prefered to reply to u with a pm because of my bad english [i m algerian],
