Did you move in with each other?

I've been with my bf 9mths. I love him a lot, but we are older folks. I own my home, he has his own apartment. I also have 3 children.

We talk often about buying a house together one day, and he wants to try for a baby in a year- year and a half.

Well, before I have another kid, I'd like to be married and living with each other.

I've jumped head first into relationships in the past, so I won't do it again, but I'm just curious how long it took some of you, and how it has gone since
