Hey!
After dating for almost a year and a half, my boyfriend and I have decided to take a risk and start living together. The moving date is the 27th.
I'm a little nervous though. When people first heard about us moving in together they told me that I should be prepared to fight all the time. I suppose it's true that one should be prepared for bickering and the sorts (we already do that), but I come from a family where my parents really DO fight all the time and should have gotten a divorce about 10 years ago. Let me tell you....if it really is like that I'd rather be a cat lady and be single. When I've asked people to tell me about the good things about living together generally people can't answer me, or one person told me that the best part was having lower rent.
I am trying to stay positive and keep telling myself that we wouldn't do this sort of thing (humans in general) if there weren't some good feelings that came from it. I think that it will be nice having another person around to be with, and having a warm body to cuddle with. I might even get the odd dinner made for me! You never know!
Should I be worried or are the people around me just being dorks? I wish I had done this before, then I'd know what to expect. Doesn't help that I've had some pretty bad roommate experiences before.
Ps. If you're nice to me I'll post some pics of the new place next week when we pick up the keys.
