From your other threads, it looks to me like the ending of this relationship left you high and dry for even something as basic as a place to live. An engagement going on for 6 years is a sign to me of someone not really wanting to commit to the relationship. If it was her who just wanted to be perpetually engaged, but perpetually avoiding marriage, then that was your major sign there of something profoundly wrong.

I happen to think that it is awfully wrong to keep stringing someone along, while you keep one foot poised to leave. I'm guessing that was her stance. You sound like you were all in for a permanent committment.

Did the two of you ever discuss marriage? Not that I believe that's a must. I am with my guy 32 years, and we've never married. But we've never called it an engagement, either.

So where you were living was more her place than your place? See, that right there tells me this was a very unfair arrangement.
