So we've been having some saucy threads about gettin' it on... and it seems like alot of brides don't live with FH.

Im itchin' to know.. is it because your families are more 'traditional'? Is it because its cheaper? Whats the scoop?

FH and I live together because it is cheaper than having two studio apartments. (we haven't lived with our parents full-time for 10 years). PLUS, I kinda like to 'test the waters'.. I didnt want to move in all of a sudden when we got married and realize that it didn't work.

Whats YOUR deal?

We live together for 2 reasons...
1. He was staying over almost every night and the times he didn't we missed each other like CRAZY!!
2. I just think you should always live with the person you are going to marry before you get married so there are no suprises!

I live with FH and #2 is a big reason we live together! Plus, he stayed at my house half the week and me at his the other half...it got a little annoying after awhile!

We recently bought a co-op which FH lives in now. It needs some work and doesn't have much furniture...I'm staying in my nice comfortable house.. would rather not 'rough it' Plus, saving and wedding details are stresses on the relationship - I don't want to add to the strain by living together...some days it is just better that we get to be apart at the end of the night because all the pressures can be a bit overwhelming and we always do better the next day after a good night's sleep

me and FH live together in an apartment

my parents moved to Las Vegas last year and it was too expensive for me to live on my own so FH wanted to move out so we moved in together last year...

its probably one of the best things we have done since we have become adjusted to living together

I recommend it

Re: Reasons you do or don't live with FH?

We're both living with our parents right now... we just graduated from college a year ago, so we're still just getting started. I'm hoping to have a full time job by September (I've been in grad school full time and working part time), and he's been working, so we're saving up money, and I'm thinking that maybe next summer, a couple of months before the wedding, we'll find a place together, and he'll move in, and I'll sort of slowly move in... so we're not really settled and everything and we still have the newlywed feeling by the wedding, but we're also not just suddenly going in head first when the wedding rolls around.

That's the hope anyway And it's really all me, my parents would have no problem with us living together, I just kind of want things to feel special and different after the wedding.
