[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a boyfriend pressure me to move in just like you. I loved him. I didn’t have a moral problem with living together. I knew he wanted to get married, and I assumed we would do so.  He had the same vulnerabilities you describe - a prior girlfriend that cheated on him.

Over time, I became engaged and moved in with him.

In retrospect, moving our relationship so fast was a form of love-bombing. As time went on, the emotional abuse increased until it escalated to threats of physical abuse.

I left at that point - of course. But I wish friends and family had not normalized his pressuring me (as I feel some PPs are doing to you on this thread); it prevented me from seeing the abusive aspects of his behavior.

Please visit loveisrespect.org - it can help you evaluate a healthy relationship.

If your BF has some trauma from a previous relationship that is affecting him, it is not your responsibility to behave in a way that heals that.  He needs to see a therapist and work on his own issues. [/quote]
