Live-in relationships

Just because it didn't work for you with one person doesn't mean it's that way for everyone all the time. Yes, it is hard to adapt your lives to each other to co-exist but some people are more compatible than others. Also, you have to have the will to make it work. If you're going to run at the first disagreement, then I suggest not trying again, because it does take some work and adjusting. I've been living with my fiance for about a year. We have plenty of personal space, we're not attached at the hip(most of the time) and I love seeing him everyday, I wouldn't not want to. And above all, we don't have to ask permission from each other. I think that's where a lot of the "restricted" feelings tend to come from for most people. Yes, it's hard because he has some ridiculously bad habits and he gets on my nerves, but we've pretty much worked it out by now.

I live with my boyfriend and we find it is easy to do. We both have our own space and are not constantly on each other's nerves. We have separate interests so it gives us time by ourselves. At first it was a little awkward living with him because we didn't know each other all that well and we just kinda ended up moving in together really fast. It's been almost a year now and we are still going strong. We have found some things to be difficult in deciding but we have managed to work through it together. It takes time, patience, understanding, compromise, and love to work through things and make it stick. We have no intention of ever getting married because I have been married before and he just doesn't want to get married after seeing what his own parents had went through. It's a mutual decision and it works for us.

When you live together with your boyfriend or girlfriend together that became the real test of your relationship. It is easy to say to someone that you love him when things are going to good, but when came the hard times it's not quite simple.

I hate living with someone else. I agree you never have space or time to do anything you want esp when you have a bf or gf telling you what you can and cant do. I guess when people do live together its good to go out and do differnt things without each other just for some time apart. I go out with my sisters quite a bit just to get away.

understandable. but sometimes people can live together and still grow fun with eath other.the key point maybe is the adjustment. when living in lovers can still keep space for the others and just live as you like such as to live in defferent rooms and occasionlly be in the same room,thus the boring matters may become less and the relationship may last.for you i surgest you just try to think it over and discuss with your ex bf that you live in the same house but still just keep some distance, this may work and you may feel better until you can change the current situation.

Dear Sheils_7, I will be able to help you better if I know what the problems really are. But then I can share a little with you. Relationships succeed where each person in the relationship learns patience first of all. You have to learn patience, Tolerance and Try to understand your spouse. I will like you to identify the main cause of your problems from there will see how to tackle it. Do you sit down to talk over your differences? or just scream at each other if not you need to sit down and address the issues especially what you term lack of space. Make out time to have new friends outside your relationship. Have to time to go out for recreations, get to know your new environment and enjoy it too. Chris ogwo2000@yahoo.com
