Posted by nikkistarno, you are so right - I mean it can work, but most often it doesn't ... it takes time to really get to know each other and to be able to weather the storms ...
I keep reading all these comments, typically younger women than me, but they will be "Oh I am engaged, and this weekend we will be celebrating 3-6 month anniversary!"
I cannot understand this, and it doesn't even have to be marriage. I have a friend that just moved in with his gf, and they have been together for 3 months. Why are so many people not thinking about it more, before making these huge decisions?
I feel like people rushing these types of relationships, are bound to be chaos. I am not saying all, but a good majority don't end well.
What is everyone's take on doing this in a relationship? Would you jump in and live with someone fast, or marry them fast? Am I weird to think that people should just slow down and get to know someone truly before making these decisions?





Posted by nikkistarWatch Judge Judy for a week; that's all you'll hear about and the plaintiff and defendant get chastised by Judge Judy for living together less than three months. So sad 😢 but then again I'm at the end watching my DVR while sitting on my leather couch, shrugging my shoulders, and saying out loud, "You KNEW what you were getting yourself into!"

Posted by jane84Uh, Jane, IF I would have given David (Ex bf; Saggy) the green light to move in with me; that would have been DISASTROUS as he was a "gold digger"....I am NO man's "Sugar Momma". 😡
Ex husband and I didn't marry until after 10 years... it ended in chaos.
Let people live and let's stop judging. Sometimes you just know, there's great chemistry, and are a really great match with someone.
Whether you wait long or don't wait at all it can end in chaos... there is no "perfect" number of years or months for any particular couple.
If people jump into a marriage and it doesn't work, that's their problem. BUT I also know couples who did get married/moved in together pretty soon and they are doing great.
The main issue is ignoring obvious red signs that you two are not good for each other and still get married. A lesson I have learned for sure.
Posted by SomeSortOfMermaidHehe, you can come to the wedding party/reception, the proper ceremony will be just the two of us at some island far far away in the Pacific 😄Posted by BoomShakalakaBoomAre we getting invites for the wedding? 😛
I'm 33 and Virgo, my fiancé is 35 and Libra. We have both been in long term/committed relationships before. We have been together for 6 months, got engaged 4 months ago and moved in together 2 months ago. Neither age, nor our previous relationship experiences have made us jaded or cynical about love, luckily. We knew we were twin flames almost right from the start. Time is relative. What's crucial is the quality of the time you spend together and how much of that time together is spent doing things you BOTH love doing together. In my case we are lucky to be on the same page as far as hobbies, but also as far as morals. We also just love being together, even if doing nothing at all. No pressure , just pure dedication day after day, that's what builds lasting love.click to expand

Posted by nikkistarBeing a single mom, I would never consider moving in with someone and I have no desire to be married again. I don't feel that marriage constitutes a committed relationship.
I keep reading all these comments, typically younger women than me, but they will be "Oh I am engaged, and this weekend we will be celebrating 3-6 month anniversary!"
I cannot understand this, and it doesn't even have to be marriage. I have a friend that just moved in with his gf, and they have been together for 3 months. Why are so many people not thinking about it more, before making these huge decisions?
I feel like people rushing these types of relationships, are bound to be chaos. I am not saying all, but a good majority don't end well.
What is everyone's take on doing this in a relationship? Would you jump in and live with someone fast, or marry them fast? Am I weird to think that people should just slow down and get to know someone truly before making these decisions?

Posted by nikkistarTHANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! OMG my gem asks me to move in together lots. We've only been together just over 3 months. I have a gut feeling about this one....HOWEVER why rush a good thing?!!! I told him I don't work like that. 1. you meet and fall inlove 2. move in together. Screw that. There's time and trust and the romance, like it's more beautiful and smart to take your time anyways. You learn a lot too without feeling trapped.

Posted by nikkistarI witnessed this first hand with a friend of mine. I honestly don't think he knows why he jumped the gun so fast.

Posted by QueenofthepheasantfairiesLOL
Depends on the generation I believe. People in their 60's now. Didn't date long before being married I doubt even lived together and their relationships lasted/last year's. Younger generations although I agree may rush into it can't be arsed to put the work and effort into relationships to make them last. However I feel if you know... you know. Go for it. But be prepared to keep working for it.
