Me and my girlfriend are dating for nearly a year, everything going well and smooth. Been seeing each other almost on a daily basis except for this week, as she’s busy with her teaching job. We discussed several times about potentially moving into her place, as I’m currently living with my family and she has her own condo. I’m thinking if we’re already spending plenty of time with each other and no major issues cropped up this whole time, why not pull the trigger and move in? Also to see how they are behind closed doors. Helps me truly know the other person even more and god forbid they become weird or controlling then the trash takes itself out. Best friend of mine who’s dating this girl for 7 months started living together just several days ago and things are already on a rough start, but he assured it was temporary.

On the flip side, my entire family is deeply opposed to moving in and thinks that alone will cause massive issues. Both of my brothers have voiced unfavorable views towards this too, one of them saying he regrets doing it (Since his GF acting controlling then ended up cheating on him). To restate my argument, wouldn’t this not stem from living together, but more about the other person? Idk 🤷‍♂️

moving in at one year lowkey crazy unless it's outta necessity but that might just be me

Depends how old yall are

My friend’s SO got angry at him this morning because apparently he moved around too much last night and she hasn’t even apologized 😭

i say do it. aint like your name gonna be on the lease right? can always just move back in with ur family? not much at risk imo

You ain't gonna know if you wanna stay together for the long haul without living together first

He should be more considerate in the future.

Don’t do it you’ll get sick of em
Relationships are better when you don’t see them everyday

That’s why college relationships are a dud when you both live on campus in the dorms. Based off experiences

Partially the reason I don’t understand the argument of avoiding living together. If you don’t know what they’re like on a daily basis then aren’t you just wasting your time?

Don’t think it’ll be, and my family will be right nearby unless they somehow choose to move to a different state (Said this idea isn’t out of the picture).

brother trust me this does not get any better whether you're dating for 1 year or 10 years and married like me LOOOOL

men can never sleep correctly in a womans eyes

like another poster said if u cant live with your girl like what is the point of the relationship even but ig that's just differences in what ppl want from a partner.
i moved in w/my girl after like a month (id known her for years tho) and then I proposed at 3mos lol
we been married 7+ years now so sometimes moving in ways that ppl don't understand/recommend is just what works for you and your situation

That said, when you have your inevitable arguments and need space, I hope you have a second bedroom or some s***

not until youre married

Hoping things will look up for them, to give you more context her lease ended but he terminated his early. She’s known for being anxiously attached and little needy of his presence, but at the same time fails to deliver his needs on occasion.

Idk about this one 😬

depends on age

but idk, if you see each other daily i actually dont think it should matter

based

if you had not been seeing each other literally every day, then id prolly say yea but

i see my lady about 3-4 times a week, prolly wont move in with her for another 2-3 years for financial reasons.

One year ain’t that crazy tbh

i agree with this boomer take.

how many years do you think it becomes expected?

Do NOT move into HER place

i dated my girl for 8.5 years before marrying her and then bought a house and moved in after

Want to know your reasoning 🤔
