Stop, No, and Don’t! Girl, haven’t you ever heard of “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” Until the ring is on the finger do not, I repeat, DO NOT live together. And almost a year?!?!?! You’ve barely gotten past the 9 month itch/honeymoon stage. You move into his place and everything changes for you both. The catch is - he has ALL the control. You are living under his roof, using his silverware and furniture and if issues arise you have nowhere to run. If you break up, you are left with nothing. It’s all his and you have no rights. I’m not saying this sort of things never works, but 9 times out of 10, especially in a relationship, it ends poorly. Don’t rush into living together. See if you are able to get past infancy before considering such a serious step.
