My gf (partner, friend) and I are moving in together

this upcoming July when my lease runs out. Or, so we plan. We’ll see how it turns out. She now says that she is “in love with me” and “doesn’t want to live alone anymore”. We went through scenarios of moving into another apartment together but both eventually decided that it would be best if we stayed in her house because she has a dog and dogs are hard for apartments to accommodate. Besides, she has a really nice house and why not live there together? I am cautiously excited. She has a long history of bowing out of these kinds of plans so I am not getting my hopes up too high. If it works out, fine, if not, ok too.

Isn’t this the same woman who married you for about a week? I mean, I’m happy you guys are working things out, but she doesn’t sound like someone to wager your home on. If things go south, you’ll still need somewhere to live.

If things don’t work out @SkinnyMe then you don’t want to end up being homeless.

Call me absolutely insane @Ninjastar, but I am still in love with this woman. And I have no power of resistance over her. None whatsoever. She comes around and I melt into a great big fat puddle.

Is this the woman that’s really hot and cold and unpredictable? Or is that someone else?

Unfortunately the same one.

Well, I hope it works out without you getting your heart broken.

Remember when you said you’d never get financially involved with her because she would drain your bank account while manic? Remember when she dumped you repeatedly?

I know you love her, and she loves you. And you guys deserve to be happy. But are you sure this will make you happy?

My heart has been broken so many times by her that my heart is no longer breakable believe it or not.

There should be a lesson in that.

I would be very careful @SkinnyMe.

Just try to leave yourself a way out if something goes south.

I’d always have a Plan B.

The divorce rate for cohabitation before marriage is upwards of 60%.

Just Google it. Moving in with your partner before marriage is statistically a very bad idea, and I advise you seriously think it through before proceeding. Breakups can be especially nasty. I know from experience as well. Good luck.

Most of you guys are using reason and logic in your arguments and I know you mean well and I appreciate it but a lot of times love isn’t logical and doesn’t make sense and you just got to go with your heart.
And no, I would never give her any access to my financial accounts and she knows this. I’m not that stupid.
