Plus I would go over to his apartment and be bored stiff because all my stuff wasn't there and he would have to do homework. When we lived together we eliminated the commute. That was really nice! You get to also see if you could ever marry him. It's much easier to move out than it is to go through a divorce. It's always nice seeing if there is something they do that annoys the crap out of you. I'm glad hubby didn't do anything. I just had to get over his morning breath. LOL I sure hope it all works out for the best!!!
| I have to agree with Tillys mom 100%. I lived with my ex for 4years (we were together almost 10 years) and after 4 years of living together (and engaged for 4 months) after 6 years not living together.... we realized it wouldnt work and we split up! The ONLY thing I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.... DO NOT BUY WITH SOMEONE YOU ARE NOT MARRIED TO!! It was soooooooo painful to split up and sell my house. It was not MY house and it was not HIS house, it was OUR house and UGH UGH UGH... to add more heartbreak on top of heartbreak! So as future precaution I know Id live with someone before marriage again, but I would never BUY something with someone before marriage again! My seperation from my bf was more painful and technical than some divorces Ive seen! :(
Have fun though! I remember how awesome it was when he first moved in with me! (I had my own apt and we lived there for 2 years before we bought our house) and it was just sooooo FUN and GREAT! I mean there is adjustments and stuff, but.... you are laying on the couch watching a movie, having some wine and noone has to drive home... its just great! :) :) |
