One of my daughters is engaged and she and her fiance have lived together for 5 years or so already. It’s fine. It’s a good way to try out living compatibility and it’s been her happiest and easiest roommate situation. It would only be tricky if the couple split up and both their names were on a lease. But they would have to deal with it like adults.

Another daughter has had serious boyfriends but never lived with them. I think for her it would be a type of commitment she wouldn’t be comfortable with. She probably doubts whether or not she will stay with the bf longterm so living together in that situation is trickier.
