"SO" as in ya'll aren't married? If yes, then know it's illegal to live together unless you're married.

living here. She won't be out of the norm or anything. I got tons of crap when we lived in Egypt, but not so much as a second glance here. Well, maybe from a laborer guy who hasn't seen his family in 3 years, but I figure he's also just staring at my family as a whole. Either way, it's harmless.
