I’d like to chime in as a person who cohabited with their S/O and regretted it.
Background: I was 19 when we got together, 21 when we lived together for a summer during school, 22 when we moved in together, and 23 when I moved out. We lived together for 3 months that one summer and 9 months “for real.”
We were both had just graduated and we’re moving to a new city so it would be easy, cheap, all the cop out reasons. Yes, before we moved in we had looked at rings and he asked my parents if he could marry me, to which they agreed. Those intentions were great but they easily slipped to the back burner when we were living together. The immediacy of the topic of marriage vanished.
When you have a roommate, all of your stuff is separate. But when you live with an SO and share everything, it all becomes communal property, because most of it was probably purchased together. With a roommate you can say, I’ll buy this and take it when we move out. You cant buy a couch with an SO and say, I’ll take this when we break up. The process of peeling your shit away from one another’s is painful and often petty. My breakup turned into weeks of IM TAKING THE BLENDER while we were broken up but still living together. Yes, we had to live together for an extra month. You can avoid a roommate you don’t like, but when you’re in a one bedroom apartment with your ex, someone is always on the couch.
When I broke up with him, I had no other bond compelling me to work on the relationship. I felt neglected and had emotionally checked out months ago. I knew the logistics would be difficult, but when the building management slipped that 2 month notice under the door asking if we wanted to renew our lease, I saw my out. In marriage I see no “outs”. Except of course in extreme cases of abuse, addiction, etc.
Cohabiting is a half ass commitment with full ass consequences.
What I’m saying, is consider those consequences if the relationship doesn’t work out.
Don’t ever let me catch you calling Spotted Cow a light beer again! And transferring alcohol across state lines is illegal. So you’ll have to stay here to do it.
Lakefront is also the best brewery tour I’ve ever been on. Hop on a tour and try a Fixed Gear.

This is solid. But I’m disappointed that you chose Little Big League or Rookie of the Year.
