Unless you really, really need to save money for your wedding I would not do it. I moved in with my boyfriend 2 years ago. We were supposed to get married six months after I moved in. The wedding was planned most of it paid for and he decided he didn't want a wedding he wanted to elope, conveniently we have never gotten around to getting married. Please if you can avoid this heartbreak do so. I'm left decided whether or not to leave the man I love. Had I not moved in with him I honestly believe we would be married right now. The stress of moving out after you have moved in is immense, leases, address changes, moving your stuff, etc. It's just a big mess avoid it if you can.

Hi kbear:<br>i'm joyross@concentric.net <br>I too lived with a man for 14 months &, i'm torn between "to do or not to do". <br>Mostly I'd say NOT TO DO but, I was able to see a drinking & drug problem that I would not have seen had I not lived there & it really gave me a scare. I would like to say that I left as soon as I realized what was happening but, "thank God", I did end up leaving. There is so much that you lose out when you "shak up". <br>From a spiritual point, there's the proverbial "sin" associated with pre marital sex but, that could come with or without the living arrangements however, the amibguity of the relationship looks to be the biggest threat. You're together as husband & wife but you're not! (go figure). <br>Thank God I got out, met and married a wonderfulman. Keep the faith..<br>Would love to hear from you.

I'm so glad you were able become aware of your former partners problems before you married him. Deciding to move out must have been hard. I will admit I'm a little torn on this subject also. It just feels like living together has more negatives than positives.
