I've had one cohabiting experience. We lived together for five years. I did not own the house and did not want to own the house. The ending was very, very bad (I was blindsided by a very abrupt and unexpected dumping, and while his initial stance was, "I'm so sorry, I know this blindsides you, take as long as you need to get your things together and find a new place and I'll help you however I can," it turned VERY quickly to "Get out of my house, you're lucky I didn't just throw you out on the curb," when it took me a couple of weeks to find an apartment and round up people to help me move my things, and he wanted to move new GF in).
Regardless, I would still live with someone again, depending on the circumstances. Not everyone is like my ex.
These people stay living together for 5 or 6 years and then move onto the next, sometimes with 2 or 3 kids. Get ready for the revolving door. But they try and make it like MOST of these people stay cohabiting for 10, 15, 20 years. Yea right.

I lived with two guys and never again until marriage. Ironically both had the same first name.
Guy 1: Moved in with him after a short time of dating and lived with him a year. Well, not a year non stop, but I moved in and lived with him about 5 months, moved out for a year, moved back in for 6 months (the last few months we weren't really dating still)then moved out. The good thing is I found out he was an emotionally abusive alcoholic before we considered marriage. The bad thing is we weren't compatible by any means. He was 15 years older and his idea of fun was drinking and doing drugs. He would also insult me in front of his friends. We broke up the first time with little contact, then got together again, I moved in again same things happen and we broke up forever. We did stay in contact for a few years after that but not as lovers. The positive about him though was he loved to cook and clean so he would come home from work and clean the house.
Guy 2: Moved in right away as well (this seems to be a pattern with me). I gave him the rent money and stupidly put his name on my business account. He fleeced the money, and when I refused to become a prostitute (he was a pimp and con artist and did not know this)he kicked me out, stole my money and many of my possessions. Took me a long time to trust men again.
So yeah I pick better men now and will not move in unless we are engaged.
With my ex, I did find it irritating that she couldn't fix anything or initiate repair orders, but that was part of her der de der personality.
With my wife, it's been so smooth and easy...but that is because neither of us is a lazy mofo slacker...I really can't wrap my head around people who are like that or have the tolerance for that.
Living with my wife has enhanced my life and made it tons easier because we like to do things for each other...like I know I will have clean clothes for work and she knows there will be a ready supply of food and wine...I know all the bills will be paid, and she knows all the house maintenance will be kept up,etc.

Any future men I live with are doing their own laundry!
