LTL,
The simple answer is the old-fashioned one:
take a chaperone.
However, these days a chaperone cannot be counted
on to chaperone. The problem is that you are not
a couple, and you are not a family, and you should
not vacation as one because:
- it gives scandal
- gives a bad example, and
- would be a cause of serious temptation, and a
near occasion of sin
all of which we are morally obliged to avoid. You
say you are certain you will eventually marry
and form a family.
It appears that you are not, yet you want the social
arrangements and acceptance that come with marriage.
You do not need to cancel your trip.
You can each reserve separate lodgings, you can
bring a chaperone, he can bring a friend (so you
can't use the chaperone to baby sit while you go
to his house) and you may have a nice time at
the beach.
