Markdreaming715,
As a man who married at 28 after living with my wife beforehand, I learned several things…
1. I would not live with someone before marriage again. Living together is a half commitment. Marriage is a full commitment.
2. There has to be an alignment of lifestyle and life goals. Being married does not change that.
It looks like your lifestyle is different. You have not talked about your life goals like kids. You mentioned about so much of the world to experience and see. What are those things? I assume that your boyfriend is not interested in those same things?
