Interesting responses, guys. And they pretty much reflect my own struggle between using my head and following my heart. . . y'all are collectively as split on that as I am.

One thing I will say is that I think it's unwise to marry somebody before you know what it's like to live with them. But for people who have had that work out well, more power to ya. The reality is that I have been married and doubt that I will do it again (I no longer have any faith whatsoever in the power of forever, but feel strongly about the power of choosing somebody anew each day) so it's certainly not something that is a factor in my decision-making.


Being in love is neat, and I want to follow it where it leads. I think for the moment, though, that I can't stand to give up my own space in my beloved city/neighborhood, so I'm going to push this decision out into the indefinate future.
