9 Tips For Moving In With Your Boyfriend

Lots of people these days move in with their partner before marriage. It makes sense for those who are in long-term relationships, and the ever-rising rent prices sort of push us into taking that step sooner rather than later. And while it might be a very good idea for a lot of people, it’s not always exactly what you expect. Seeing someone almost every day and living with them are two very different things. Moving in with your partner is not a step you should take lightly. And while I can’t prepare you for every single situation I thought I’d give you a couple of tips and talk about things you should keep in mind and think over before taking the plunge.

 

 

1. Get Rid Of Clutter
First things first – you need to get rid of clutter. You might think you don’t own that much stuff, but once you start packing you’ll quickly realize that there’s a lot of crap you’ve accumulated over the years. You might have space for it if you live alone, but remember that now you have to share your space with another person and they have things too.

 

 

2. It’s “Our” Space Now
Whether you’re living with your parent or alone you’re probably used to having your own space. Be it a room or an entire apartment that belongs only to you and no one else. Well, chances are you and your partner aren’t moving in to a huge house, but into a rather small place, so you’ll have to share everything. That space becomes “ours”. Yeah, that bathroom is no longer just yours, that bed that seemed so huge and comfy – now you only get half. It might not seem like a huge change, but it really is, and it takes some time to get used to it.

 

3. The Obvious Bonus
I don’t want to only list negatives so here’s an obvious plus of moving in with your partner. They’re always there for you. If you have a hard day at work and all you want is to come home and cuddle – you get to do that. If you need someone to talk to and give you advice – they’re there for you. When you need someone to just listen to you – they live with you. It’s very nice.
