Me too! Current boyfriend lives with me but only because he was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 months after we met. Not sure I would make the choice in the future to have another boyfriend live with me - I like having my own space. And I definitely do not want to be financially entangled with someone else.
Wow! Well you are a saint for letting him move in! My XGF had been given a non-renewal notice on her apt. and didn't know until the day before her lease was set to expire, she waited that long to renew it (eye roll). So I let her move in temporarily, and oh my was that ever a disaster. I remember driving home from work each day and actually hoping I would not see her car in the driveway so that I could get 5 minutes of peace! But nope, there it would be. Every... single... day. She wasn't working at the time so she was there around the clock. Things finally came to a head when she started a fight with me one evening and ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, took it into the living room where I was and cut herself. I didn't say a word, just got my phone out to call the police. Long story short she talked me out of it but I made it clear to her that she needed to move out, and she did. You learn things about people living with them that you would never know otherwise, and a lot of times it's not good stuff!

I don't either but who knows. I don't completely close the book on the possibility, but it seems pretty unlikely. My XGF always felt a little bit like an invader in my "family", like she didn't belong. I remember feeling like that about the women my dad dated (and two that he married after my mom). It was all just a little weird and awkward. I don't want to subject my kids to that or to a bunch of estate headaches by introducing someone new into the picture. Man I'm really talking myself out of it, hahaha!
