Ok how old are you? We're both 26. FWIW I've been living on my own for two years now _Schwarzlicht_ posted... Hope it's a big enough place for you two to have separate areas to hang out in. A little bit of distance/private retreat is helpful in not getting sick of/aggravated with someone you live with. We'll be getting a two bedroom, so there will be a bedroom, a candle studio room for her to start her candle business, and a living room. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Don't do it. I regret when I did. Of course I used to live with someone who has only earned $50,000 total since 2012.

You are far too worried about marriage for some reason. Its going to chase this girl away.
She wants to move in with you because she sees it as the next step. Its something of a test for the relationship. Her feelings are there and now shes going to see if it makes sense in other ways. This girl is actively looking to be with you for the rest of her life. Stop doing everything in your power to fuck that up unless shes really just there to fill time for you --- ...

Wow, it's been over two year since all of Clears "I'm lonely" topics? he's still lonely in this relationship by my understanding clear, these days you remind me a lot of me when i was 3 years younger than you just be careful and don't overcommit to someone you don't feel anything for because it makes sense by the metrics that you prioritize --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

You are far too worried about marriage for some reason. Its going to chase this girl away. Actually she wants to move in with me for the same reasons I do: We save money and we enjoy being together. When you say "this girl is actively looking for me to be with her for the rest of my life," I don't believe that's true. We are both open to the idea but we're not getting married anytime soon.

living with an SO is an interesting experience, has its pros and cons IMO.
probably a good call in getting the 2br; my wife & i live in a 1 bedroom and it's pretty tight, and while we make it work, having that extra space will make a big deal (we are looking to move out now to a bigger apartment). some points: 1. i dont know how your gf is, but my wife has a ton of shit, so closet space is a precious commodity. don't share closets, get your own closet. 2. have separate areas where you can go and be alone so you dont feel like you and your SO are on top of each other all the time. for example if my wife is watching some garbage reality show in the living room i'll go in the bedroom and use my desktop, helps us feel like we can do our own shit when we want to 3. since you have no interest in getting married, give some thought to how you will CYA in regards to finances/assets in the chance that you guys break up. for example you dont want to be one of those couples that gets a dog and then you break up and dont know who gets it, you don't want to get a joint banking account and have to figure out how to split it up, getting on the same phone plan, etc. i know this is common sense and you're not a dumb guy, but i see a lot of my friends who i thought were rational people doing stuff like this when they move in with their SOs 4. dont try and split up chores, like saying you do dishes and she takes out trash etc. just make sure you do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. don't keep score about this either, because it will lead to you guys trying to kill each other 5. enjoy cleaning large clumps of hair out of the shower drain on the daily 6. dont expect to be getting laid constantly because you live together unless shes just that kind of chica clearaflagrantj posted... Mostly because I think true love is a lie. from my experience that's a hallmark thing, not what marriage is really about imo --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

emblem boy posted...How did you know your wife was the right one? in my opinion it is mostly a lie. the basis of a functional marriage in my experience rests on mutual respect much more so than love. respect allows my wife and i to forgive one another when we have a heated argument and say something mean to one another. it was when she and i were having some of our worst fights that I began to notice how strong our relationship really was. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

clearaflagrantj posted...emblem boy posted... For the actual marriage part, I think it's very much about choice and choosing to make the other person feel loved and wanted while the two of you live life and try to better each other in some way. It's the part before marriage that I'm so confused about. How do you know she's the one to want to stick it out with. What is this love feeling --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 Beta 2 ...

I dunno, it is kinda weird to me to move in with someone when your expectations for the future of the relationship are not clear and your impetus for doing it is financial
I mean I don't even live with my gf and we have been together for almost 4 years and I do intend to marry her because I prefer a higher level of independence until I do actually pop the question --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

i mostly did whatever the girls felt most comfortable with wrt that
i have never dated anyone within 50# of myself, incl my wife, so i always kinda felt like i needed to make sure they never were afraid i was going to rape them was a strong impulse of mine ever since an early gf had covered her face while i was going down on her because she wasnt really ready to progress that far --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

How often do you guys see each other? literally every day, why? we pretty much always sleep together and etc, but I still have my own place for all of my stuff and that I spedn time at to hang with my roommates and stuff I guess I could have been more clear about that but thats why I pointed it out, I am in a relationship where it seems logical for many reasons other than financial ones for us to live together but I'm still kinda iffy on pulling the trigger so its weird to me to see someone willing to jump in for purely economic reasons even when the personal ones are kinda dicey --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

I think it's too soon since we've only been dating for 6 months, and I like having my space. I was like, it's something we can talk about more in a few months, but even then I might not feel comfortable yet.

Clear, eventually you're going to reluctantly marry her. Might as well get used to living with her all the time, you can save up more money. It'll be better when you're making the prenup

Youre assuming that she is completely rational about a guy shes been begging to move in with her despite strong red flags that the relationship isnt going to evolve You are putting far too much prominence on what she says versus her behavior. She clearly believes in monogamy and that this will go somewhere, or she wouldnt be broaching this.
