I actually really liked @Rawtid 's response, and I'll piggy back off of it. To me, being in a marriage is a situation where there is a requirement of dependence. Being in a relationship doesn't carry that type of responsibility, but when you start living together there is pressure to duplicate that dependence and that is not a responsibility I want when I'm just getting to know you.


Once you've decided to marry a person, you've gone beyond "getting to know" a person. Certain levels of commitment need to be shown in certain time periods. You don't just go from getting to know a person to married. There are transitions that are made that build to a climax.

Ok the Christian angle. Well I have no choice but to respect if that's your religious beliefs :obama:

I guess from a practical prospective, too, Rawtid made a more practical point about the dependence thing, and I share the same feelings. Maybe it's selfish of me, but to be honest I enjoy my solitude and when I get married I have no choice but to give it up.

Like I said before, cohabitating when you can already sustain yourself independently is mutually beneficial. You'd be saving twice as fast. And i dont see why marriage all of sudden makes palatable the sacrifices you'd potentially be willing to accept. Marriage is not some inseparable union in which the two of you are literally bonded together for life. You can get married, support his return to school, and he still leaves. You can build wealth with him and he still leaves. :dahell:
It doesn't make sense to me to make that level of sacrifice for someone I'm not married to.

There's nothing wrong with personal time.
But anyone a person marries...you should WANT to spend as much time with them as possible.

Some people act like they can marry someone and see them 3 times a week.

I understand that, but I don't feel like moving in together one of those things.

Sound Reasoning
If a woman got engaged why would she not move in with her fiancee that she's potentially walking down the aisle with in 6 -12 mnths?
What does she have to hide? :patrice:
And don't give me that bullshyt milk analogy :aicmon:
This is 2014 not 1814. Women been poppin p*ssy. :heh:

Yea that milk analogy kills me. In post-feminist 2013? Post sexual revolution? In "I can do anything a man can do" 2013. There's milk running through the streets.

Now, that you've been milked, what other tricks does a woman have to keep a dude from busting a few and bouncing?

Peace

These dude can act crazy if they want and act like they don't understand but a lot of us have "friends" and "best friends" there are things you would do for your best friend that you wouldn't do for just a friend. The same applies to boyfriend and husband. That doesn't mean the friendship or marriage won't end but in the moment you still draw lines in the sand about what you'd be willing to do for that person.

How many times a week you see your dude if you have one? I live separate from my fiance but it feels like we live together. She used to be over my house daily and sleep over, get dressed for work etc and vice versa. Now since the baby, im over there almost daily, sleep over we see each other often. She is the main one that wants to not move in until we married. She wants to maintain that independence and also uphold her virtues as a christian woman :stopitslime::yeshrug:
