[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither of you are wrong, but a man wanting to live together or vice versa doesn’t automatically mean they won’t marry you. Usually there are many red flags besides apprehension to get engaged that women ignore. Moving in together doesn’t mean you man won’t propose to you. [/quote]

This. The red flag that OP should be looking at right now is the issuing of ultimatums and the refusal to come to an agreement that works for them as a couple.[/quote]

No one issued any ultimatums here.  They had a difference of opinion on moving in together before they’re engaged.[/quote]

And only one person handled it somewhat maturely.  I agree with the pp who suggested OP should insist on premarital counseling.[/quote]

-1 What exactly did OP's girlfriend do that was immature?

I have no regrets about insisting on a ring before moving in.  I knew what I wanted, and wasn't willing to play house without a commitment.  Knowing what you want and speaking up for yourself, even when your view isn't fashionable, is the definition of maturity.

The immaturity comes in insisting things must be entirely your way in a relationship. [/quote]

That is not immaturity.  Acknowledging that there are some differences that are insurmountable in a relationship is part of being an adult.  Better to figure out that a man isn't committed before moving in than after.[/quote]
