He has hinted about me officially moving in but today I asked him if we could talk about it (seriously) he seemed as if he may be having second thoughts to me moving all my belongings into his home. Do you think I should stay or leave if he changed his mind about me moving in? Oh btw, we will be talking in depth about it tomorrow night Reply to this Question Share |

what will happen to your place? how will this be paid for?
would you marry this guy?
when my hubby and I were LDR, we knew that we could not stand to be apart as much as we were having to be... so we moved in together (by this time we knew were were getting married we just were not engaged yet but we moved in formally 12/11 and got engaged 2/12 we married 10/12)
Living together is ok in my book if no MINOR children are involved and neither party wants to marry. BUT, if you would be giving up your home, and your independence... well consider that too.
Have you two discussed how finances will work? IF not, you need to hash all of that out.
IF you want to live together and he does not... well you have to figure out what you want and if you can deal with it if it's different from what he wants.
