Is it for convenience, stronger commitment, or are you using it as a trial marriage and what are the advantages and disadvantages.

Round the clock lovin'

But mostly to have a retort to "we don't spend enough time together,"

Sex on the kitchen table

AngryBollix · 14-02-2012 02:38AM

Not as much as movin' out

Advantages - get the dishes cleaned.

Disadvantages - have to clean the dishes.

Also climbing out the window for nights out with friends - Calpol my secret weapon, i make such great tea with it.:D

You move in so you can find out the little things about each other that become big things before you break up.

Rinse and repeat.

Dave147 · 14-02-2012 02:45AM

So you know that you should never marry them and it was all a big mistake in the first place.

Well usually it's only for 10 minutes...

Is it weird I call prostitutes just to talk?

Bipolar Joe · 14-02-2012 02:48AM

That I promise to bathe regularly.

the end of all fun , where ya goin , what ya doin , my friend has a birthday party we have to go to , then she says what do ya want for dinner then gives you 10 reasons why thats not what were havin ,DONT ASK WHAT I WANT IF YOURE NOT GONNA DO IT!!!

Katgurl · 14-02-2012 02:52AM

It meant a step closer to marriage and longterm commitment.

The disadvantages were that I couldn't just suit myself anymore and had to have a real life lesson in the meaning of compromise.

The advantages were that I realised I'd rather set my face on fire than take marriage vows with that person.

On a more general note though I suppose it gives you auchincloss better insight into your partner and how compatible you are together.

Your bird wouldn't cook your steak?

Thats just wrong. Sounds like you need to put your foot down and show her who's boss.

Tweet0004 · 14-02-2012 03:08AM

No, but nights out with friends seem to becoming less. Have to answer now where i am going, having not done this since living with parents.

Tweet0004 · 14-02-2012 03:09AM

No seriously asking because we have moved in together, after been together a few years, and listening to friends saying it is good, and others saying it is bad.

Spread · 14-02-2012 03:43AM

Far fewer blow jobs!

southsiderosie · 14-02-2012 03:52AM

Maybe it depends on the age and cultural differences, but one thing I found weird about living in Ireland is how many young people do the whole moving in thing for several years, then get engaged for several years, and then kind of sink into this netherworld of neither here nor there until their 30s. Out of my circle of close friends from home in the US, I only had two friends who moved in with the OH before getting married, and in one case, they were already engaged and it made sense to move two months before the wedding because his lease was up.

The way I look at it, either shit or get off the pot. But that's just me.

Tbh, I prefer our way. Get to know someone before you make one of the biggest commitments of your life. Don't understand the whole engaged-for-a-decade thing but the tendency towards short engagements in a lot of parts of the US is weirder to me than living together and getting to know the person you're going to (possibly) spend the rest of your life with.

LH Pathe · 14-02-2012 04:05AM

To me it means not just under the same roof but exact address. Seems i'd have to really like the girl regardless, so it'd be ideal

til she start hatin on me n screaming like banshee

What does moving in with your partner mean to you ??
