Moving In

This is always an anxious moment in a relationship and can be scary as well. This is when you both decide to forfeit your independence and take on a responsibility that neither of you may have had in a long time.

This article will look at pros and cons of moving in together and how it could affect your relationship.

The cons:

Financially, at first it may seem like a good idea because both of you are splitting the cost, however, money is one of the leading causes for breakups. Both of your spending habits will change, less shopping, less out to restaurants because now money is for the home.

Your alone time is suddenly being shared and spending time with friends is no longer guilt free. You are not able to come and go as you please and your choices you used to make are now made with your partner in mind.

Quality of time will change; both of you will now experience much time together and try to balance appropriate time together, without hurting the relationship; there is nowhere to hide during an argument and tensions and anger can build.

The Pros:

This is a good trial to see if you are both suited for one another. You learn the daily rituals of your partner; you find out little things like cooking, cleaning and abilities to problem solve.

No more saying goodbye after your date; instead you both can snuggle up and enjoy endless time together. Your intimacy will be often and less stressful. You both can be more relaxed and have fun together by sharing new ideas and concepts.

Financially, if done correctly, you both should benefit. You are now partners and together you split all costs; you save together for material items, such as a home items or maybe even a home. Together, you build stronger communication and share more thoughts and feelings.

Finally, by living together, it brings two people closer and helps to establish each other’s personality and habits. It gives you a clearer picture of what may happen after you both commit to one another.

Good Luck !!
