Mine was a nightmare 
I was always clear it was a temporary yet monogamous thing (we were too different), but had pressure on me to get married, he wanted to settle a £20k life insurance payment on me in the event of his death within 2 weeks of us meeting. I brindled at that and refused. The ahem was really good though.
I had a snap point two months in and walked out then he threatened to kill my pet. I'm FAR away now and staying single, I'm not sorted enough for a relationship :)
Anyway what have been other people's experiences?
