All I'm going to say about living together is that it'll magnify everything in your relationship - if things are great and you get along really well (which you seem to) it'll make you super close and can be really rewarding. If you have issues or problems, they'll become massive dramas.
That said, I'd say go for it! Moving in with Pete was a great decision for me, we've been living together since December 2005 and we'd only been together for a few months when we moved in together largely out of necessity (his folks were moving away and it was move in together or break up pretty much).
Ooh - just a few other things, some slightly more practical advice:
- Make sure you agree on housework and stuff like that - and make decisions on how you're going to split chores before you move in so that you don't agrue about them once you do.
- Make sure you see eye to eye on anything financial. Money is so easy to get stressed out about and have huge arguements over even when everything else between you as a couple is great.
- Make sure you dedicate some time regularly to spend doing something fun together, it's so easy to start forgetting to appreciate each other when share all the dull domestic stuff as well (this is of course after the novelty/honeymoon period of living together as worn off - give it a few months! haha). Eg: Pete & I always go out for a nice breakfast on Sunday morning.
thanks for the advice. we see eye-to-eye on money/housework stuff as our families are quite similar. its just keeping it together after the 'honeymood' period. i am quite confident that it will work out, its just those last minute decission doubts.
Moving out is a HUGE step. Moving in with your boyfriend is even bigger, you have reason to be worried about it. Do you know what suburb youll be in? The week I move up I'll come visit you but until then let me know if I can do anything. I think itll be easier than uq for you to make friends because everyone is in the same situation, there are no colleges at qut. But yeah try not to stress cause youll just make things worse. You might be a bit sad the first couple nights your parents have gone but I swear after a week youll be questioning why you were even worried. Even if the living situation doesnt work out remember you can reapply for college mid-semester, or you can stowaway with me :) Dont worrry, this year will be the most fun EVER. Youll practically be a college student with both me and em at college and we can teach you the do's and do nots. Oh another thing - you really need to make a huge effort to make friends in your first week, especially in your tutes because like I said, everyone is in the same boat. The rest uf us
