Living together

Well,i think 3 months is the shortest time one should spend before he or she decides to live with other person.So many people live together when they just meet very few days. I think it is not responsible. And i have heard a news about a couple who have met online only for 7 days,then they decided to get married.I just can't believe.We should take living together or getting married seriously.It is not games.If you play,the person who will be hurt at last will be yourself.It is especially true for girls.

hi lion i thnk if you both want to and you trust him you can move in whenever you want.maybe a year? me and my hubby moved in together after a year and a half have you lived with someone before?it is great!

In my own opinion it depends on the partners because they are the one who is deciding if they will live together or not even they are not married yet.

I think that when both of you feel comfortable about the idea, why not give it a try. At least it will see how good a relationship you have. My wife started off staying over several nights a week before we decided to make it more permanent. Mind you, that was 6 months into the relationship.

well, my shrink said that it ought be a year and a half before a descision like that is amde, but i've never had to make it so i really coouldn't say. i'm guessing it's different for every couple.

My mum once said to me, 'you never really know anyone, until you live with them' Oh how that echoes round my ears!! I think that this is soo true, you could be dating someone for 6 months or 6 years, but those annoying little habits you never knew about, only start creeping around when you move in together! The only difference is, if you've been dating them for 6 years im sure you can overlook these, and have seen other annoying tendencies within this time. However, can a short relationship really hold out over some of these things? I do believe though, that if something feels right at the time, why hold back, go for it! good luck :)

i would say you will both know when it is right. What is vital is that you do live together before you get married because you never truely know anyone until you have lived with them blessed be

Hey RIML Good question-I was friends w/ my man for about 5 or 6 months before we moved in together & that was 17 years ago. I am not married nor do I ever plan to be.I feel like a woman should live alone for a good while before you let a man in your house b/c once you let him in he's gonna think he owns you & the place no matter what he tells you now. Good Luck to You |:) +'s 4 U

Oftentimes , living together makes you open the secrets of the Pandoras box and you really can't return them once you discover them. In one way or the other it has its advantages and disadvantages. If it didn't worked out for both of you, well it has its pros and cons and so many learnings in it.There is no specific time or date on when to live in together. The state of being ready of the responsibilities and the acceptance of the idea of living in is what matters. I think it is much better if they live in for more than 6 mohts of relationship and not just few days. With few days of knowing each other, i am definitely sure that living in won't work out.Goodluck!

i think living in with your boyfriend or girlfriend is a smart way to deal with the differences...this way you'll find out if you can tolerate a person bad habits and vice versa...you become more intimate on the relationship and closer to one another...this way you will know if youre meant to be or not.

i think it depends , it might vary to a few days to many months . Some ppl develope a very good understanding between them in a very short span of time that they start enjoying their relationship so much that they even get married and sometimes ppl are together for a very long time and still end up broking the relationship after staying together for such a long time..

i would have to agree with a lot of what everyone else is saying. i think that you should know someone well enough to trust them with your secrets because no matter how hard you try, you can't hide anymore. my husband and i were friends for about a year before we started dating and a couple for about four months before we moved in together. we lived together for almost two years before we got engaged and have been married for two years. i mean, i think that i always knew that we would be married, so living together just seemed like a natural step for us. but just like you know when it's time to move forward, i think your mind also tells you when it's not right for you to move in with someone.

Hello there. I think it's not really alright to stay together in a relationship. That's because I wouldn't want the "spark" to go away once I finally marry that person and live with her. I suppose I am more of a traditional type of guy and wants the best in the end. I love the cat and chase strategy and want things to start out real relax, slow and easy, but end up long and permanent in the end. But different people have different views on this, and I truly respect that. Thanks for posting and take care.

I think that you have to have been together long enough to know each other inside out. Also you have to be in a position that if things go wrong for some reason you have somewhere else to go, and you should discuss that scenario before you move in just in case. I am just about to move in with my boyfriend of 3 years and we sat down a few days ago and talked about exactly what would happen with the flat and things that we bought together if we did split up for some reason. Kind of like a pre-nup for unmarried people! Definately worth it though because if something happens at least we both know where we stand

Time should not be a factor as much as when you and your partner feel it's right. If you feel your relationship is going to the next level, I think it's important to know if you can co-exist in the same household before you think about marriage (eventually). If it feels right, go for it.
