My boyfriend and I lived together for a year. The good - making dinner together, falling asleep and waking up next to someone, spending lots of time together. The bad - awkward when going out with friends, arguing over little things (bills, being messy, etc.),spending too much together. After living with my boyfriend and learning about all his quirks and flaws, I still wanted to be with him and we're closer than ever, so good can definitely come out of moving in together. Just be prepared because it won't be a very smooth ride. |

i have made the mistake of moving in together in a few previous relationships. you'd think that after the first or second time i would've learned, but alas the third time was a charm. anyway, after years of living together (miserably) we finally went our separate ways. one word: MESSY. it was sort of understated in this article, but i cannot emphasize enough just how much of a "mini-divorce" it really is. i live on my own now, and my bf does too. i'll admit, it does feel great to wake up together when we spend the night, or hang out at each other's place for a couple days. BUT we have both made the mistake before so we're really up front and on the same page about how we feel about moving in together. i say, be in a loving relationship for a LOOOONG time before even considering moving in together. |

| I am afraid that living together might make him call it quits after a fight that wouldn't have ended things if we were married. Yeah, I know I'm somewhat old fashion, but I do think that if you live together before you're married, you're not going into the situation full-force. And by full force I mean with the thought that you are "partners" in this together, not just two people shacking up. | |
