We were approaching 2 years... and where I live that means common law kicks in. I wasn’t too happy in the relationship and she emotionally abused me. We dating for another 4 years before she moved in... but at the end of the day I didn’t want to get married.... it seemed too risky

So I just broke it off with her since I would pretty much be married in common law... and I’ve read too many horror stories on here to risk that
