[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend of 1 year ( last month) asked me to move in with him after the end of the year when my lease is up. I’m really excited and plan to spend my life with him. I was so happy and shared the news with family/friends, only for some of them to tell me to get a ring first. I’m getting conflicting advice from friends and older family members. Some have told me to move in and see how living together is before deciding on getting engaged, and some have told me I should never move in with a man unless he proposed. One aunt is very old fashioned and said women shouldn’t live with a man unless married, but that’s a little aggressive for me.[b] Now I’m wondering if I should bring up getting engaged or move in and see how loving together goes before talking about getting engaged. Any advice?[/b] [/quote]

OP this is a red flag. If you can’t talk about what you want, then you should not be moving in together. Don’t move in under the assumption that he wants the same things. For all you know when you both say you want to get engaged “soon” that means in the next 5 years for him and 6 months for you.

And I agree that it’s a really bad idea to move in together before you’re engaged and planning the wedding. [/quote]
