When did you move in with your partner or spouse?

This thread is wonderful, thank you all for taking the time to reply, I've loved Reading each and every one of your stories they are heartwarming, and just go to show that there can be a happily ever after.

My boyfriend and I met online in 2003 (I was only 14) and we started "dating" shortly after. We had taken trips to see each other over the years, and then we moved in together in 2008. We just recently got a new apartment.

Wow! Someone with a shorter time than me and DH!

That's actually pretty tough to do since it was actually 7 days after we met. At a club. On goth night. We talked on the phone a couple times because he lived 70 miles north of me in the city where I grew up. We went out on Saturday up there. He followed me in his car back to Denver on Sunday for goth night. He came back to my apartment after the club and never left.

There were times that bothered me. We've certainly had our rough spots. But we've been together for 15 years in October and married for 10 year in November. I guess it worked for us!

Hmm I guess technically I held out for 4 yrs. BF asked me to leave the house we both lived in (I was dating his roommate but there was just a undeniable connection) I didnt leave which is something to this day I regret. However we started dating Jan 23rd of 08 and I slept over and never left. He told me to get my stuff the next morning and move in with him. We have been thru some major rough patches, jail, DUI court, and some MAJOR relationship issues. Thankfully we worked them out are communicating better and found our flow together. It helped I think recognizing that him and I are such opposites that we both need to make a conscious effort to be aware of the other person. Ahhh <3 <3 <3 him! How could I now he has let me crowd his little house with 3 fuzzy butt cats and 2 monster devil dogs but I dont think he could ever go back to the way things were and I know I could never live without him. Right now we are planning on getting married on 11/11...Either this year or even better next year 11/11/11 because our good luck time is 11:11 so cheesey but its the cheesey that gets me all mushy!

Mike and I knew each other for about 2 months after we met.. I knew the second I laid eyes on him that I wanted to be with him forever.. We started dating on April 30, 2003. I was 16 and he was 17. Within a month we were both in love . December 15, 2003, I moved in with him because my mom kicked me out of her house and I had nowhere else to go. I called him when my mom told me to pack my crap and get out of her house, and he was at my house within 5 minutes, no hesitation. Like every couple, we've had our rough times, I moved out twice but it only lasted for like 2-3 days tops. We love each other very very much. We both know we are meant for each other. We are so in tune with each other that we finish each others' sentences sometimes and we read each others minds. Like, I'll say I'm hungry and I want McDonald's or something like that and he will be like "NO WAY! I was just thinking the same thing!"

Lately we've been thinking about getting our own place, and we've been talking about marriage too. But we haven't set a date, he hasn't proposed yet, but I know it will happen.

I moved in with DH 3 weeks after we met in a pool hall. We got married a year and a half later, and we've been married now for 11 years. I was 17 when we met and impulsive, and really i just count myself lucky that he turned out to be a good guy and not an axe murderer!

13 months after our first date. We were married two months later.

About 1 1/2 years.. I didn't move in until we got married

3 months after we started dating. The plumbing didn't work at all in the place I worked and the landlady said if I wanted to have the plumbing work I had to pay more rent. Well obviously that's illegal, but I didn't want to live in a place where the landlady was like that, and I knew things weren't going to be fixed. So my now-husband asked if I wanted to move in with him. In November we will have been together 8 years. October we will have been married for 5, so I guess it's working so far

We met on a blind date and starting right then and he pretty much moved in with me about then! Of course we didn't formally live together right away, but met allmost every day right from the start and soon we realized that we were kind of living together.
The best sign was that when he first came for a visit, Pollýanna sniffed at him and then jumped onto his lap and stayed there. She didn't do that to people normally, so I took her advise!
That was over 10 years ago!

We moved in together about 5 months after we met. We hadn't planned it that way but DH got a job in another city, I needed a change of scenery, and I had a feeling I didn't want to lose him. That was 8 1/2 years ago It's our 5 year wedding anniversary today actually

Happy Anniversary Sarah!

We moved in together after about 9 months, but it was more out of convenience than anything else at that time. We bought our house together after 4 years. We're not engaged/married.
