My best friend in DC and his partner will be together 20 years this year, and have never lived together. I think we move in too quickly. Before we know each other well. My bf's complaint was that he'd never waited A YEAR to live with someone, much less 1.5 or 2, then I reminded him the length of his move-in relationships wasn't spectacular. (2 to 3 years)
My ex- and I dated for 9 months when we moved in together and lasted 11 years... then again, he's still my ex-.
I think we're on to something here... waiting. What a concept!
