Two years? Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. If ya’ll aren’t exclusive within 6 months (after a credit and background check and referrals from trusted people and a parent check on both sides) and aren’t planning a wedding around 9months for a marriage within 15 months, then pick up your purse and walk out the door and don’t look back, because it’s not going to get any better. If he’s serious, he’s coming after you to get you back with a wedding, and if he doesn’t, well, that’s your answer right there.
Life’s too short. And you’re too valuable.
Good advice.
Thank you, blueplum.
Make a list, ladies. What’s important to you?
Learn about his family and past. Meet his friends and family.
Do you have the same values? Do you laugh together?
Does he have a close relationship with his mother? His family?
Life is short, but it can seem far too long if you’re with the wrong person.
Good advice.
I will tell my daughter to NOT live with any boyfriend. My sons too. It just doesn’t bode well.

That’s real solid advice for the minority of young women who are not sluts, not crazy, not a rabid feminist and otherwise normal.
I’m just disagreeing with your last part that “you’re too valuable.” Most women, not that valuable imo. Not valuable enough to marry.
