how long till you married? or moved in with your not so better half?

[MattTheSkywalker]

85% of people that live together before getting married end up divorced.

Damn statistics.


I moved in with a girl after datinng 5 months. We weren't engaged and never got that way, though I thought we would.

My parents got married 3 months after they met....married, not engaged....and they have ben together 29 years.

Just in case you were wondering...I was born '75, they were married in 1972.

been together almost 6 yrs now... lived together when i was in ontario for about 5 months... in a year from now we hope to be living together again and when we are more settled in a few years the marriage part should happen. but we're not too concerned about it yet.

Oh Matt, Matt, falling for the stats game again.
Now, lets think about this.
If one is traditional enough to get married and not live together (as yours and my parents did) chances are, they are also traditional enough that they will stick together through all the shit that normal, sane, human people would throw the others ass to the curb. Hence, people who live together prior are less likely to be walked on in a relationship, or at least know when to get the fuckout.

The few crazy people I know who get married and didn't live together are also the people who wound up having affairs when they were 40, going though marriage counselling, hating each others guts and being generally miserable unil one or the other fortuitously dies.

Now Matty, Maybe your folks are the one in 10 million couples that would do it all over again the same,but though my folks were no where near worst case described above, my momma always did tell me that any woman who gets married is a woman with no self respect.

Met her, she stayed the night. Never really left. Lived together for 2.5 years. Got married. She left after about 18mos. I changed the locks and filed for divorce after about 4 days of her not coming home. The divorce was finalized the 21st of last month. My girlfreind moved in about 3 months after the wife split. And no, she was not my girlfriend when my wife and i were together.



........What was the question???

Well, Pam and I have been together for about four years now, and I plan on proposing this Christmas, then getting married in two summers...We won't live together 'til we're married (according to her!).
