I would say this all depends on the relationship. What you are asking isn't as clear cut as say, am I wrong in expecting my man not to sleep with other women when I'm in a committed relationship. Have you even told him your future expectations yet?

yes, I have told him and he said "but baby, this place is awesome! I can't just pack up my stuff and buy a new house!"

I said, "well, not NOW but I really see this as TEMPORARY. Don't tell me in a year that it is all working good and we stay here."

His answer "We'll worry in a year. Maybe the market is all up again and we (we???) can sell for a good price"

pssssst

No, I really don't smell anything. His garages are full with cars so he put his bikes into the hallway area where there are tiles.

Last night my dog destroyed her bed and he said "I hope she doesn't destroy anything else in MY house." That hurt and once I told him "YOUR house!!!" he said I am overreacting he didn't mean it like THAT.

He already made his nest and likes it. But I don't and now feel selfish for not liking a nice, big, and clean house.

My house is much smaller, the area is kinda bad but I made it all modern inside the way I like it. I miss it a little and don't want to feel like a guest forever in his house. Am I spoiled and should be more thankful?? I mean it is awesome that he doesn't want rent from me (I offered) so I feel like a d*ck for not liking it.

If he won't budge to compromise and make "our" house "our home," then he's still into himself. I'd just move back to my own house and stay there. See how he likes it then. It's not as if you're a spouse with rights to his property.

He said "once you are my wife, it's gonna be different. But we are not there yet."

I was thinking of moving back into my house. But then I sit there missing him and he is missing me. Kinda pointless.

So most of my personal stuff is now at my bf's house.
He gave me a room where I put all my belongings.
The furniture and dishes and stuff is still at my house and stays there for now.

Am I wrong to expect to move into a completely new place in the next 1-2 years
so it is all OUR stuff and not all his?
Yes. Absolutely wrong.

I moved into a man cave, his pics on the walls, his manly bed sheets, his decoration,

This sounds like it's more the guy than the place you have issues with

I want a fresh start where I can decorate and feel like it is OUR place.
OK. Maybe with the next guy.

I might be moving out to LA... wanna wait?
