Cohabitation has become increasingly common, and dynamic societal changes have led to increasing variations within cohabitations. Although usually viewed as a precursor to, trial of, or alternative to marriage, cohabiting relationships, especially among the poor, may be driven by economic or parenting needs only loosely related to aspects of marriage such as stability, personal fulfillment, and romance. I argue that it may be better to view unstable, need-based cohabitations as distinct relationships not necessarily related to marriage. This dissertation uses longitudinal ethnographic data from the Three-City Study, a multi-method project studying post-welfare-reform lives of low-income mothers in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio. Using methods based in grounded theory, I identified 60 African American, white and Latina mothers engaging in non-marriage-based cohabitations. Analyzing 812 interviews, I identified 5 areas that impacted mothers' cohabitation decisions: economics, relationships with men, social structures and networks, parenting, and cultural contexts. Rather than deriving long-term utility though exchanges within stable relationships, mothers practiced rotating utility, using resources including months of TANF eligibility, employment, family and social resources, and men. Mothers rotated among these resources depending on their current needs. In rotating men through their lives, mothers engaged in serial cohabitations (living with a series of men); intermittent cohabitations (living on-and-off with the same man); and living together apart cohabitations (LTAs), in which they lived with the father of their child(ren) but did consider the cohabitation a relationship. Men were useful when they provided income, childcare and household help, a sense of safety, or a male role model. However, their frequent criminal justice problems, spotty employment, and propensity for domestic abuse made them unacceptable long-term partners. Mothers could not find jobs that allowed them a reliable income or upward mobility, and TANF was time-limited. Mothers thus had to rotate among resources for survival. Despite problems with men, mothers found it difficult to permanently sever ties with children's fathers and frequently rotated them in and out of the household. Unstable cohabitations emphasized the primacy of parenting ties over partner ties, as couples remained "bound by children" even if they no longer wished to have a relationship.
