Sanilac Co. Michigan | I've read most of the responses, just tons if advice on such a "delicate" subject!
Given that most guys want honest advice and not just what validates what they are going to do, regardless, here's what I think.
First thing, by all means, don't get married before you move her in! God knows, that might lead to divorce and that's just icky and an unnecessary risk. And expensive too!
Second thing is, getting married is like buying a new pair of shoes. You wouldn't think of paying for them without trying them on first. So by all means, live together for a couple years to make sure she fits. Sure don't want to get married and find out she's not perfect, right?
Third, you're not her husband, you're not responsible for her, so make it a 50/50 split of all household expenses and hold her to it! That way, if this thing goes south, neither of you will think they got gypped financially.
Fourth and finally, probably best not to get married. It just carries too much risk. Better, if you need companionship, to just let her move in with you. That way you're not committed to a damn thing. If this thing don't work out you can throw her baggage out to the curb and find yourself another "rug scrubber"! | |
