writes: My girlfriend wants to live together with no promises on marriage. At first I was against it but thought about it and re-considered it and decided I was fine with it. Now she wants to break up because she thinks I will regret it later down the road.She proviously was in a very abusive marriage and basically doesn't want to get into anything she can't get out of easily. Not that she would bail at the first sign of problems though.Question - Is it possible or even more probable that I would not regret it??? I honestly think the only regret I would have is if I let the one great love of my life get away. I have been divorced for over 15 years and she is the only one I have ever met I felt this way for. No kids are involved. Mine are grown and she has none.

Honestly, I've always felt that you don't get to truly know someone until you've been around them 24/7. Why she would want to break up with you at this point is beyond me .. just sounds like she's very nervous about it from what you said about her previous relationship being abusive. Perhaps you'll have to work the 'living together' in at a later point when she feels more comfortable with you. Also, she probably got the jitter bugs when you were initially hesitant on moving in together ... something you may need to reassure her about.
Heck, just because you're living with someone does not mean they're going to marry you. It's a great way to know each other and what a slob the other person can be. :-x
