I moved in with my boyfriend, now fiance after being together for 6 months. Basically it worked out for us because I moved to another state to be with him and he figured it was easier for us to live together than be together all the time with double the expenses. For me, it was more about strengthening the relationship than assuming marriage was on its way. We had been doing long distance until then, so the learning curve was high for us.
I don't regret it at all (and of course we're engaged now too!), but more than that we were able to learn about each other's little things and work on our relationship. We have been honest with each other throughout and that has helped us work through living together.
Plus I agree with people, you have to know the parameters before you just move-in. You can't assume anything and always protect yourself, especially financially. I've seen friends move in with guys, give up their lives basically and have it all collapse.
