Although I don't believe in being married before living together I do think that living together is a big step, one that I'm too selfish to make. He was engaged to the girlfriend he was with before me & she had moved into his home the week after they first met (although they became engaged much later.) She didn't get to bring anything of hers but they eventually made it "their" home instead of just his. That may have worked for her but I don't like that idea. I want my things around considering I paid quite a bit for some of them (like my TV & washer/dryer.)
I honestly think that Trevor & I could live together & be very happy but I don't want everything to be his while I have to pay to keep mine in storage. And he just wants me move in, bring my clothes & a few other necessities without even consulting his roommate to be sure its okay.
Maybe if he were willing to compromise with me on the things I could bring, offer me some more space to put my things, didn't have a roommate, & gave me more than a few hours to decide before I had to put a deposit down on an apartment I might've considered it.
