[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew I wanted marriage.  I made clear while dating that I expected a ring before we would move in together, and that’s how it happened.  We’re approaching 18 years of marriage now. But the key is that I knew what I wanted.  What is it that you want?  [/quote]

OP here. I didn’t expect to why engaged before moving in. I’ve never lived with a boyfriend before and it’s all new territory. I trust his word and how he feels about me. Now I’m not so sure. Most of my family members have been married for 20+ years, with most being married for 40+ years. I trust their opinion since they are all very happily married. Some of my friends agree and got engaged before moving in, and some didn’t feel they needed to get engaged before moving in. They both make good arguments for both sides and now I’m confused about what to do. [/quote]

Don't listen to other people. That's what you should do. Go with your initial feelings on this. It sounds like you've talked about engagement and marriage. It sounds like you trust him. Go for it. You can always move out.[/quote]

+1. Been married 30 years and agree with this advice. [/quote]
