Men make no freaking sense....

Boyfriend and I have been together for six months. He’ 23 and I’m 22. He has liked me for years and we actually went out about a year ago but I didn’t like him. When he asked me out again, we really hit it off. We annoy each other sometimes but I really care about him. He really cares about me. Our relationship is a bit different than most. We don’t have sex. Im a virgin. He doesn’t know that I am one (will this scare him away!?!) He has said that we can wait to have sex and that he’s surely not going to badger me about it (what a relief-the exes did). I am just not ready yet. I really respect myself and want to be 100% ready before I make that step. Anyway, Both of us were in a serious relationship about three years ago. He was with her for almost three years and I was with mine for almost three. He had lived with his ex. He said he is thankful he did because in doing so, he seen what a truly horrible person she was (laying out drunk, going to clubs, etc). He said you can’t truly know someone until you live with them a while. We have talked about marriage in the future of course, and Ive asked if he’d marry someone that he had never lived with. He said yeah but he’d have to date them longer and itd be a bigger risk to take. I agree you know someone better if you live with them, but it goes against all my principles and beliefs. I feel like you shouldn’t live with a man before you are married. From time to time, he will say things insinuating we should move in together. He has his own place, just wants me to move out from my parents’ house in with him. Yesterday, I had sent him a scholarly article on Facebook messenger about marriage statistics. We send each other interesting things like that during work to make time go faster. One of the statistics said that you are 40% more likely to be DIVORCED if you’ve lived with a man before, compared to women that had never shacked up with a boyfriend in the past. I pointed out that one to him. He made comments on some of the others, like you are 12% more likely to be divorced if you have twins or triplets, compared to a single child. I was telling him about one of my friends that has lived with three men now. She just moved in with her current boyfriend. I told him that I already knew that uppered your chance of divorce. I told him that while I love my friend to death, I feel like she will have more trouble finding a man to settle down with. I asked him if he agreed. He said “its complicated.” I said “haha, well, would you rather date a woman that had never lived with a man, or one that had lived with 2-4 men?” He said it’s a complicated answer. I feel like he said this because obviously he (and any other sane man) would rather have the woman that hadn’t lived with every tom, dick and harry. He just wouldn’t admit it because that would mean IM RIGHT. MEN, do you lose respect for a woman if she moves in with you? Doesn’t it take the sweetness out of the relationship? Wouldn’t you rather marry a woman that had never lived with a man before? I mean, come on….I feel like this should be obvious. And Women, what have been your results from moving in with a partner? Why is it so important? Cant you have love and a meaningful relationship seeing each other 4 or 5 days a week? Why move in together? Honestly, What is the point of marriage if you already live together?

Sorry, I do not mean to offend any men with the title. Most* men make no sense. Maybe some of you men can help me with this problem?

I disagree,I think living with someone is a good idea because it can result in both partners freely with each other. If it works out great if it doesn't well at least you are not another divorced statistic !!!! I think marriage is a death sentence and rope around two peoples neck , how do you know he still loves you or is with you in ten years time..... is because he is married or because he wants to be.Its a dictatorship where you give up parts of yourself for another...... absurd!! The unrealistic idea of that one person is forever, people change throughout time...... screw that one life. Morals has nothing to do with walking down an isle and saying I do...... and because you do does not make you a better person than someone who decides not too. Most marriages are a business arrangement.....
