These Bruce Sprinsteen lyrics popped into to my head as I was reading this thread:

“Don’t worry darlin’
No baby, don’t you fret
We’re livin’ in the future
And none of this has happened yet…”

(Lived with my future husband for awhile before we were married 35 years ago.)

Living together will be fine, or it won’t and your son will come through the other side, sadder but wiser.
Express your reservations here, or to your own spouse, but keep in mind that this relationship might last, and whatever negative statements you make now will still be floating around your son’s and his GF’s heads for the life of their relationship.

Edit to add, my oldest is engaged, and I would have been happy if they had lived together long before they married, but they will move into an apartment together just a couple of months before the wedding.
