[quote=Anonymous]Don’t ask for a ring rather judt flatly say that you don’t plan to move in with anyone aside from your husband. That way, it’s not direct pressure to get you a ring, it’s more on the whole concept of marriage, which is the endgame for you. He shouldn’t object, and if he does, the. you know his intentions. You cam still stay the night at his place and vice versa as well as spend entire weekends together to get to know each one other more.

I would emphasize marriage and focus on how you want to make that experience as positively life changing as possible and that includes the excitement of finally moving in with the love of your life, your husband.

For context, I did this. We dated for 5 years (engaged for two). He wanted to move in after a year and I said not for me. I shared that it was only for marriage for me and wanted my independence until then. Later, he did propose. We had a long engagement to ensure my only sibling could attend.

and husband admitted that he would have easily gotten comfortable and probably not proposed had I moved in.

Also, I have several amazing friends who lived with boyfriends for 2-5 years only for it to lead to a break up. One was “homeless” for months getting herself settled. Naturally, she came and stayed with us. It broke my heart hearing her cry at night. As much as you love him, you come first.[/quote]
