That's great that it worked out for you 2! I think im just scared cause i remember in sociology class we read that most couples that live together either dont end up getting married or if they do they have a higher divorce rate but i think that's the case if the ppl don't know each other so well before moving in. In my bf and my situation we have practically lived together for 4 yrs- so we know each other's bad habits and such, and none are too bad lol If we do move in we will talk things out before doing it and also ask our friends for advice- they are a couple that recently moved in together not too long ago. I know a couple weeks ago they were having problems but it was because they were together too much and not doing their own things/hobbies so i will keep in mind to keep myself busy if that happens. So far they've been living together for 6 mos so there's some hope i guess.
