#8 Chatting Change: Where do you stand, when living together turns to falling apart?

--:--

If the “co" in cohabitation stands for commitment, connection, and companion, what happens when everything it stands for falls apart? For young couples who choose to live together before or instead of getting married, it’s a tough question that must be tackled, no matter how happily they’re habitating. So what are your rights when things go wrong? Psychologist Mpho Molepo pops into the studio to chat about the legalities and emotionalities of a cohabitational breakup.

Chatting Change is made just for you, by BrightRock – the first ever needs-matched life insurance that changes as your life changes. #LoveChange.
