Next time: Don’t move in with anyone. Keep the stuff separate. This is an unspoken energy that you can leave anytime, that you two are independent beings. It also makes the marriage more “real” when it does happen. Like, This is It!! What can happen is when you live together it seems like you’re married… but you’re not. Or, the other person can get too comfortable. Or, conversely, too pressured to make the marriage leap. If you live separately and it doesn’t work out, it would be easier, yes?

But let’s be clear, this particular guy would have done this jerky move anyway, I suspect. I just wish you were in your own “nest” when it happened.
