I have to agree - being a 35yr old woman who has been on her own for a while, it is sometimes difficult to start changing your ways to fit into someones life, and have them fit into yours - not impossible, but difficult.
I lived with my ex-husband before we married - nothing changed after, except as Miss Saigon said, my signature - however I was very young when we married and niave to think that some of the issues that I though would resolve themselves, didn't - we always got on well, and today we get on better than ever before - but I wouldn't marry him again because we have both changed.
Being in any relationship here in Qatar has been difficult - as men here have a very different outlook on how they want their women to be - so if you had to live with someone here (discreetly) it would lead to a better understanding of both parties - and then you could decide if you wanted to make it a permanent thing.
I am a very strong-willed person - I think my boyfriend likes that - however I know he also likes to take charge of situations - something I am not used to because I have always been one to take charge - I find it hard to let go - if we lived together we could possibly learn compromises - but again - at my age - do I really want to change who and what I am? Even for a man?
Sorry, might have rambled a bit - or even gone off topic - just thought I would give some extra insite.
