It's completely up to you and how comfortable you are with it. There is no right ot wrong answer..only what you feel is right for you.
As for me and Joey, we've been together for 6 years. Both of us living with our parents(or in my case, my grandmother) except for this past year when I got my own apartment. While he does spend time here, sometimes even days, we don't live together.
For us, I felt it was important for each of us to live on our own independent of our parents and each other....just for the experience and the responsibility. Something along the lines of knowing and being able to take of ourselves first before committing to living with the other person.
We plan to get married about a year from this October. Even when he comes back from his deployment overseas, I don't see us living together. My feeling is that I know he is the man I will marry. If we move in together, we may as well be married, and after all these years together, we deserve to do it right and have the wedding we both want.
But that's just us. Whatever you decide, don't let anyone try to make you feel bad about your decision. If that's what you feel in your heart is right for you, go for it.
