[quote=Anonymous]My now DH, then-boyfriend, wanted me to move into his place before we were engaged (and before I was sure I wanted to marry him).  I was opposed, but eventually agreed.  We are now married, and just started marriage therapy to deal with the issues that started then and still haunt us now.

Does your GF want to be engaged right now?  Do you want to marry her now, but just want to make sure you can live together first?  If so, get engaged, then move in together and see how it goes.

Is your GF not ready to get engaged right now?  Are you not sure you want to marry this girl for reasons other than living together?  If so, just wait.  There is no need to rush things.  When you two BOTH want to marry each other, get engaged, and then move in together before you get married.  If it's a disaster, then call off the engagement.

You two are both making this way too complicated.  What your families did is immaterial.  "Moving forward" for the sake of moving forward is crap. [/quote]
