[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]depends...how long have you been together and how old are you?  I would test drive the car before buying it.  I personally wouldn't marry someone unless I lived with them first, as you will learn quickly if you are truly compatible in it for the long haul. [/quote]

OP here. We have been together for almost 1.5 years. I’m 29 and he is 31. I’m excited to take these next steps in our relationship, but I’m like 10% hesitant because I’ve heard the stories of women moving in and it never resulting in marriage. I want a marriage and kids by the time I’m 35. [/quote]

I moved in before we were engaged technically.  But we'd discussed that we both saw the relationship heading towards marriage.  We were not living together as a trial run.  I made it clear I was moving in without any intent of ever moving out.  If your boyfriend would freak out if you told him that, DO NOT MOVE IN TOGETHER.

Inertia is powerful.  Many many people stay in terrible relationships because they are already living with their partners.  It is very hard to move out once you've moved in.  Not impossible, but hard.[/quote]
