[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would make sure you have explicitly discussed getting married not like assuming that he feels the same way as you before moving in.  Would also recommend discussing a timeline of when that could happen, better to be on the same page so no ones feelings get hurt[/quote]

I think more important that a ring or not is the why behind the ring. A ring is important because it demonstrates commitment. [b]If you plan to spend the rest of your life with this person you owe it to yourself to have an honest and candid conversation with your partner about your feelings and expectations, and ask him about his. If you guys are on the same page then you can figure out whether or not it’s important to you to be engaged prior to move in. If you are not on the same page well… much better to know now than after playing house for 1, 2, 3 years[/b][/quote]

+100 This.  My first thought when OP said “and I plan to spend the rest of my life with him” was has he said the same to you or was it literally “your lease is up and you should move in with me”. And even if he says he plans to spend the rest of his life with you, the devil can be in the details of what that looks like. There are some guys that refuse to get married before x age, say 30.  I always think that has to suck if you meet him when you are both 23 and you don’t wait until you are at least 30 to be married.  Some guys may want to be together, but not get married - which is fine if that’s what you want. Some people insist they have to live together before getting engaged and some people don’t want to live together until they are engaged.[/quote]
