. . .Living with my b/f for about a month now.We have been together for 2 months and have been friends since last nov. Do you think it was too early for me to move in? See the original plan was for me to move out of my apt and back with my mom for anout 3-4 months,then live with him,but we decided it would make no sense to do that when I woud be over his place all the time anyway. . .How far into your relationship were you when you moved in?

If it feels right, then go for it. Don't worry about what other people might think about it. I was with my boyfriend for only 3 months before we moved in together, and I had really only known him for about that long, too. We've now been together for a little over 2 years, and have lived together ever since. We're getting married in june of this year. So do what you feel is right... If you can see yourself being with him for a long time, and he feels the same way, then go for it. Plus, like you said, you'd be over at his place all the time anyways, so why not make it official?? ;-)

Thanks
It does feel right and I very much do see us being together for a long time if not forever,i just am afraid of change.We had a small tiff yesterday. Ha said something that offended me but was not meant to offend me and we didn't talk for about 2 hours.I know thats not long but it hurt a little.I hear a lot that if you move in too fast and blah blah blah, it will ruin your relationship.I had someone tell me I was going to crash and burn,but I think he is just jealous.How far along in your relationship were you before a fight?

I was also about 3 months.I love him even though sometimes he makes me mad but that does not mean you wll break up or "crash and burn" b/c of it girl! Don't listen to other people like erogers says.If you love him no one elses opinion matters.

We had our first fight long before we moved in together. Most of our fights at that time were centered around the fact that we weren't spending enough time together, so moving in really solved that problem, lol. Of course, we still have our little fights and disagreements, but nothing major. Just regular couples fights.

As for being afraid of change, that's understandable. Daren (my fiance) is the first guy i've ever lived with and I wasn't used to it at first. But you'll never know if you don't give it a shot. In my opinion, you really need to live with someone to find out if they're "the one". You know what I mean? Anyways, i'm probably just rambling now. But good luck with the living situation, i'm sure it will all work out. I'm not sure how helpful I would be, but don't hesitate to pm me if you have any other questions! ;-)

I moved in with my boyfriend after a month of seeing him and a week after officially dating him. Here we are after 3 years! If it feels right, do it.

Did anyone ever tell you that you were moving too fast by moving in after only 1 week?

Thanks guys,i don't feel so bad moving in early now.We rarely fight but when we do everyone always says "well you have to remember,you moved in together very early" which I think has nothing to do with our spats.It does feel right to me and now I don't care what anyone says?

The fights we did have,now that I look at them,they seemed serious then but they really weren't that bad.I know there are way worss things to fight over and I know there will come a fight one day when we don't talk for hours or even days.I dread that day.The fights had absolutly nothing to do with us living together though.What was your first fight about if you don't mind me asking?

I remember the first time he made me cry. (i cry a lot) he made a comment that I want too much affection from him and always want him to be all lovey or something and I cried, but then he was really sorry and nice once he saw I was crying. It is hard to remember what we used to fight about-probably money. What do you fight about?

He made a comment about girls in general and it pissed me off.There is this girls in our neighborhood named cory.Well he got wasted and went to his friends place down the street and came home late.He woke me up to tell me he slept with whory cory(thats what we use to call her,i guess she is a prostitute) and was talking all this smack.He had no clue what he was talking about and didn't remember it the next day.I know he didn't cause all he does is go to work and come home to me.I told him all the things he said and he was down as hell.He doesn't drink a lot but when he does he says some not so nice things and doesn't even remember to top it off. He saod he would not ever get like that again.I am an attention neey person sometimes but I hold it back b/c it gets on his nerves.Sometimes I let it out but its not enough for him to get mad at me.Sometimes I just need it! : )

My wife and I had a similar problem. We had been dating for a little over a month when she graduated and was going to move back home (about 4 hours from me) to start working. We knew if she moved back things wouldnt work out so I invited her to move in with me. She was very reluctant, but eventually agreed. It has been three years now, we just got married last may, and both reflect on the day when she showed up at my doorstep with all her belongings and we hardly knew each other.

Heck, we all have our little tiffs, living together or not the best part is making up. The main thing with living together is to not go to bed mad at each other, sometimes living together is much better then being married as sometimes that piece of paper really changes people. I haave known several couples that were married, then got a divorce then lived together and got along much better.
Good luck to all of you!
