Personally, I would have to wait until marriage... given the way my family is, my dad would possibly want to disown me or call me a prostitute (even if I was dating the guy for over 5 years or we were engaged). But, if that issue wasn't there, then I think maybe 2-3 years, provided we were both financially stable.

Not every relationship has a honeymoon phase and many have phases last years.  There is no set time.  My current relationship never had a honeymoon phase and we are going strong.

A part of my closet is his. We live together fine so since he has his own apartment we've been thinking of moving in together. Just Waiting Here Posted at 11:11 am on July 5, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 11:06 am on July 5, 2009 I don't understand how people don't move in before they get married. You expect to live the rest of your life with this person and there are so many things you don't know about a person or experience if you don't live together beforehand. Personally, I'd move in when I felt it was right, there's no specific time, it varies depending on the relationship. I completely agree.  I would much prefer to move in and figure out how things really were in that setting.  But well, that just doesn't work in my family.  My sister was engaged to someone she had been dating for over 5 years, and his lease was about to expire, so there was no point in renewing it because the wedding was in like 1-2 months.  My dad only accepted because he sent my mom there to stay with them for that while...  And... the day before the wedding, he wasn't allowed to sleep in our house, he had to get a hotel (for which my dad paid for, but he has his own set of standards). In my opinion, it's rather stupid... but well, I'd rather not create any drama in the family.  I wish my parents had lived together before getting married, maybe they would have realized BEFORE having kids that it wasn't going to work -__-'. XxweepingdarknessxX Posted at 11:08 am on July 5, 2009 It's different for different people and different partners. You need to be completely comfortable first and you should have stayed there for short periods of time e.g 3-4 days so that you know what their lifestyle at home is like. (and learn all their bad habits ;) ) AnacinCross Posted at 11:08 am on July 5, 2009 It really depends on who the other person is. If they're reliable, sedate, and have a steady income, then I'd move in with them sooner than if they were an unemployed, uneducated stoner. Spice Posted at 11:07 am on July 5, 2009 I have no clue, really =\ i really like my own space and when i feel im ready to give that up for someone, i think thats when it would be right. i wouldn't particularly place a time scale on it marshmellowman Posted at 11:06 am on July 5, 2009 I don't understand how people don't move in before they get married.

Chiefette Posted at 11:06 am on July 5, 2009 I would never suggest marrying someone without living with them first. If you cannot live with someone the marriage won't work and it would be horrible to find that put after marriage. 2kewl4u2know Posted at 11:05 am on July 5, 2009 I think it would depend on my relationship with the guy and where I am personally in my life.  With my current boyfriend, I think I'm ready to move in with him now, and we've been going out for 2 years.  I think though if it were another guy, I would probably have to wait a little longer than that. It just depends on what my relationship is at that point, and where I am in my life. Corrupted Innocence Posted at 11:03 am on July 5, 2009 No idea until I was ready to be honest, however I wouldn't want to marry them before moving in with them. I would rather get used to being around them so much then go into the whole marriage situation with them Monroe Posted at 11:03 am on July 5, 2009 A year or two. My boyfriend and I moved in together after 5 months, and..We're no longer together, so that didn't work out. (: RIMHfire Posted at 11:02 am on July 5, 2009 Depends.
