I was married to someone else before Mr. Lixy and we lived together first (6 years) and that didn't work out. So, I doubled the living together time with Mr. Lixy to 12 years and then we married and it's been a wonderful relationship...both before marriage and after.

In my personal opinion I would NEVER marry before living with someone. It wouldn't be fair to him or myself.

To know me is to see me in the morning with bed head...to see me puke after a night of partying...to hear me scream obscenities as I "cook" in the kitchen...to get me a hot water bottle when the monthly cramps grip me so I can't walk...to watch me clean when you think the house is already clean but I insist that it's dirty and you just can't see the dirt...to watch me leave your dirty work socks inside out when I wash them because I've told you time and again I will not turn those stinky, icky things...etc. I think you get the picture!

But that's ^^^ just me!
