    I've been Money Tipped!
    I lived with one guy for almost 3 years. He talked about marriage but I knew I didn't want to marry him. When I met my now OH we got married after 5 months but didn't live together first

    Seems I'm the rebel here - we got married THEN began living together.

    So only lived with one guy.

    Same as me.

    But back then (1981) it wasn't quite to usual to live together before or instead of marriage.

    If I was not married these days, i wouldn't have any objection to moving in with a partner, if it felt right

    I've only ever lived with my OH.
    We met on-line, spoke on the phone and after about 2 weeks I went to meet him and brought him home with me.... and he's been here 8 years now!

    When it's right, you just know :)

    None.

    Sometimes, for me, the simple act of breathing by another person is intolerable. Yes, I know I have issues and I don't hide them from parthers.

    Longest relationship - 13 years most of them terrific.

    Two.

    I moved in with my first husband after we got married and we had been together about 18 months.

    My second husband.... Well he pretty well moved in as soon as we met. Actually his Mother threw him out after finding out I was separated from my ex husband and i'd got kids.... Well I guess it backfired on her.
