Breaking up after living together for a couple of years can be as painful
as a divorce would be.  The only thing you don't have to deal with is the
paperwork.  All of the pain of starting over, learning how to be alone, etc.
is there.

People who get into such a situation with that attitude that it'll be easier
to get out of if things don't work are fooling themselves.  It's close to
the same amount of commitment as marriage (many people nowadays get married
with the attitude that if things don't work, they can just get a divorce).

Either way, the relationship won't work unless the commitment is there.
