Am I setting my expectations to high to say that I won’t move in with a guy unless were engaged?

I don’t believe in shacking up but what do you guys think?

    My opinion, You shouldn’t move in with a man unless you’re married. I’m old fashioned. It’s too easy to just shack up with a man. You’ll be doing everything a wife would be doing, but without any commitment on his part. Don’t do it.,

    A couple to get engaged they should know each other well .This need the couple to associate with each other for a reasonable period of time .This does not mean a relationship .Continue to meet as friends so that you will get the opportunity to know each other . If you feel that there is compatibility between the two then the next step is engagement .You are correct .You are a cultured girl.

    If you’re uncomfortable living with a man before engagement, there isn’t anything wrong with that. You expect that if he wants to spend every day with you, then he has to propose - it’s perfectly fine. Although I’ve known a lot of people that have done it that way, lived together when they got engaged and then called off the wedding because they couldn’t stand living together

    I'm a gal. I've notice in life, and sure as heck on HERE, that tons of people are engaged who will never get married. I don't think your expectations are too high... it's a good idea to have rules for yourself!  Very good idea to set your standards and live by them. But an engagement does not automatically mean a wedding is coming. It used to!  

    It doesn't anymore. A person is either eager to marry you are they aren't.

    it only makes sense if you are religious, otherwise your living in 1982.

    It has nothing to do with 'expectations'. It's what makes you comfortable. It's YOUR life and you have a right to live it the way you want to.

    Your moral compass is a bubble shy of true north. Engaged is still shacking up (technically), easy to break up after an engagement  - no contract whatsoever.
