[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are both 24, been together for 2 years, both working, one going to grad school next year. Should you insist on engagement before moving with him to new town or wait until he finishes school?[/quote]

Don't move for anyone without marriage. [/quote]

Agreed.  You can date long distance.  You can break up, dare other people, and get back together later.  You can also get married at 25 if you are both ready.  Getting married doesn’t mean that you have to start having babies right away.  [/quote]

I'm incredibly conservative about life decisions generally, but i bucked this advice twice - both moving x-country after i graduated college to a place where basically the only person i knew was my BF (now DH), and then moving in with him 2.5 years later without engagement.  My 16 year old self would probably be horrified, but i don't know what to tell you - it just seemed really right, and it's also noteworthy that no one in my life was worried for me. Even my own (very conservative, judgemental) parents just kind of knew that these were good decisions, because "when you know, you know".  On the flip side, we all know tons of friends who move in with loser boyfriends and it's obviously a terrible move.  But sometimes context matters. [/quote]
