If you don't know about living together without being married first, you need to talk to him about this. Explain to him your worries and your fears. I don't think you will scare him or push him away.
If you're not ready to think seriously about marriage then you're not ready to live together yet. Living together before marriage can be really helpful and a great idea, but at this point in your relationship you should have had more serious talks about marriage and the future. How long does he want to wait to get married? Does he want to have kids? How many? What does marriage mean to him?
At least have the important stuff ironed out before you even consider living together. If you are discussing the "make-or-break" issues while living together and you find out that his ideas are incompatible with yours, it will make a breakup a lot more difficult.
Ask him to sit down with you and talk about what your goals are about marriage and family. If he's reluctant to talk about these things with you, you shouldn't be making plans to live together.
