Why shouldn't my boyfriend and I live together?

I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.  Additionally, if you and your partnner are going to be together long-term, the exwife will just have to realize that it's unrealistic to expect for you to not be in the children's lives.

It has not been long since you both move in. Let the relationship breath, has he show any of his true colors yet ? If not, you may want to see how living together going to be. Just slow down and take one step at a time. \nHave you and him talk about marriage already ? If so, maybe he not ready to pop the question yet. Or maybe he waiting till the right time, he could want to surpise ya. \nHope everything turns out for the good.

How long have you been together, and living together?  Did this just start, or has it been an ongoing problem?  I would ask him what's going on and suggest counseling if it's bad enough to start affecting your everyday lives!  Good luck!

You can't go out because:\n\n1) Because you let your boyfriend tell you you can't.\n2) Because your boyfriend is an ass.\n3) Because you haven't dumped him.\n\nThat pretty much sums it up.\n\nI'm not saying the ideal couple never spends time together or doesn't care where the other goes, but he's gone way overboard.

Communication! I have been with the same guy for 7 years and I am just realizing since we moved in together that its one area  we need work in.  Its so important!  Also keep dating each other.  People always seem to get "comfy" in a relationship and it gets boring.  Keep things exciting.

That depends on what you are looking for and what he "expects"from this.\n\nAre you romantically involved or do you both want someone to "share expenses" with?  \n\nIf you are "involved", even though you may have know him for a long time, I think it's too "soon" to move in.\n\nIf you want a roommate, how will both of you feel if the other person brings home a "date"?  \n\nOnly you can decide this and you have to seriously think about what both of you want from this relationship.  I'd say you are probably better off getting your own place.\n\nGood luck with whatever decision you make.

If he'll be living close by, I'd suggest setting up a time once a week or something for you guys to spend time together, and don't let ANYTHING get in the way of it. Phone calls work too, but nothing beats actual physically being together.

Serious question here, and lots of things to consider.  Let's see if we can sort through all this.\n\nFirst of all, you say you've been together for seven months.  I wonder how old you and he are.  The red flag that jumped out at me is that you are both still living at home.  These days, I know that can mean anything from 19-29.  But if you don't have a steady job (preferably a career and a vocation), if you don't have your own transportation, and if you don't have financial independence, marrying is not a good idea.  He also needs to have a steady job, a vehicle and financial independence.  \n\nThat you are having second thoughts is a good thing.  He sounds like he still has a ways to grow up if he's still trying to leave home.  You sound like you have a way to go yet toward financial independence if you are living at home too.  When you say that you want to have little flings and talk to other guys, though, this tells me you are not ready for marriage because your heart is not truly in it.  You need to keep dating and work on your education, your job skills and your life management skills.  All these things are coming along, but don't sound quite developed enough yet.\n\nAlso, you should never have to pressure someone to marry.  A marriage proposal should come out of the blue with no pressure at all.  That someone feels the need to pressure someone else says that there is a power struggle going on, and that's a very unhealthy way to start married life.  \n\nThere is such a word as divorce, because there are many, many "starter marriages".  No matter your religion or personal beliefs, 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce.  And divorce is a hard but positive thing ultimately, because there is no point living miserably.  Divorce is hard to go through, but people survive it, and go on to thrive afterward.  Sometimes, even with the best of intentions, things just don't work out like we plan.  People grow apart, want different things, change and life throws us curveballs to boot.  \n\nEnjoy your single life for a while longer yet.  You may want to keep seeing your boyfriend, or you may want to re-evaluate the relationship and see if you want to stay with him or move on.  Don't be afraid to move on.  Be more afraid of getting into a rut or becoming too fearful that you'll never find someone else.  Nonsense!  With six BILLION people in the world, no worries about finding someone to date and/or marry ultimately.\n\nGood luck with this.  Cheers, K

You love each other. If he is earning and have a house to stay, proceed and marry. Rest of the things will fall in line.

This is a really sensitive issue.  Your boyfriend seems like he has real commitment issues.  The best thing to do would be to sit down and have a little chat.  Tell him you want to be in an exclusive relationship and nothing else will do.  After your chat, you should both sit on the couch and drink some heavy lager and eat a couple of bowls of bran each.  Then you will both find out what your a-holes are really for you couple of mincers.

Ask yourself if you can live with all the in differences sounds like it might be difficult to always have him being the one who is right and in control you have to do what makes you happy any relationship is a 50/50 deal :)

your relationship sounds like true love. some people never find that. yes they get married and live together but thats nothing if like you said, your not honest and trusting. it does seem simple. but somethings are worth fighting for.

If your boyfriend is not going to be bothered that you move n with someone else to "see" how he deals with it, then this relationship is over.  Perhaps the flame has died.  It happens sometimes.  You two need to sit down and talk about your relationship and where (if anywhere) is it going.  It is time for you both to be open and honest and make concrete decisions regarding your lives.

Talk to her about your plans.  Help your sister do a budget and understand how to pay bills.  After that, you are free to move in with your boyfriend.  Don't rush to move in with him, get to know him longer.  If you have been dating for a year or more, try it.  If not, wait!

i think that depends on which country you're in and from what culture you live in. \n\nin some cultures, especially those in the west, it is no big deal when two unmarried persons move in together and share the same bed (and bathroom and toothbrush and bills).\n\nin some cultures, this is a huge taboo. \n\nso you better weigh your choices carefully. while it's true that moving in together can mean some savings because you can both share the bills, doing so might be against your community or your culture. \n\nalso, on the practical side of things, better find out if you snore and if your girlfriend is bothered by it. believe me, some couples break up because of snoring.
