You two obviously don’t go round with placards which read “we are not having sex”. Your lady friend is a Catholic and now so are you. So observers will believe that you are fornicating and so living in sin. This is no small matter and even if you do not engage in the marital act until you are married, (if indeed you do marry) you are still in danger for your and her immortal souls.
Please read the reasoning behind this.
