[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeesh. I lived with 3 different boyfriends before getting engaged to my now husband (who I moved in with after 6 months). Would not have done it any other way. You learn a lot about compatability by living with someone. Just have an exit plan and don’t commingle stuff so you can easily separate if needed.  [/quote]
Not commingling is actually always a great idea since 50% of marriages end in divorce[/quote]

This is true, but once you buy a house and have a kid things are going to be commingled. As a young adult still dating, don’t buy property together and don’t merge assets (and ideally don’t have a kid) before you’re legally married. And ideally before you get married get a prenup to spell out anything that is separate property and how you’ll deal with communal property….[/quote]

I am not too traditional in this sense but I actually support NOT buying shared property, as someone who is trying to share it in divorce right now. 
Having a kid - here marriage doesn’t really matter. I would prefer not having my ex on my son’s birth certificate but he is paying support and is not too difficult in terms of signing permissions so it is what it is.
Yes I think a prenup is a great idea. 
Honestly if I could start anew I would buy my own small property, or invest etc, and rent together. Heck, to be honest I probably wouldn’t even move in with anyone :) [/quote]
