his parents were going to sell their house.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

Ok my opinion and would recommend it to anyone, is to live with your man first. We lived together for 1 1/2 years before we got engaged. I truly believe that you really don't know a person until you have seen them in the best and worst of times. Another thing I have got out of this is, when you have a fight you fix it right then and there because neither of you is walking out of your own home

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

Because we were with each other 24/7 and it didn't make sense to pay double rent in NYC when we could just live together. Plus, I was living in a shoebox and he had a huge apartment :)

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

He lived in another state. I moved down to be with him and had a place with some friends for awhile. Then I realized I wanted to live alone, he owns a house and didn't want to see me pay for an apartment when we already spent most of the time at his place. So, he asked me to move in, said that we wouldn't live together for more than a year w/out being engaged.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

He wanted to move closer to his office, but if he did that then he would have been really far from me. Now we have a much nicer aparment then we had when we were living alone and we each pay $300 a month less. It was definitely a great decision!

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

We were 50 miles apart, and he was getting tired of driving back and forth. Plus his 2 BR apt with washer dryer access and use of pool and jacuzzi was looking a lot better than my studio apt in my brother's basement for only $50 more a month.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

My FH lived in PA and I lived in NJ. It got to the point that our Wednesday night date nights and weekends together were just not enough. When we both starting crying every time we said goodbye we knew that we had to change the situation. Shortly thereafter he packed up his apartment, quit his job, and moved into my ('our') apartment in NJ. I'll always appreciate how much he changed his life for me.

100% agree....I would never marry someone until I live with them, JMO, I lived with someone in the past and he was PERFECT until I lived with him

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

I was in CT and he lives down here, we are in a great cheap apt...We both felt that it was the only way not to have a long distance relationship anymore... we had been dating for four year and I was like we do this or its over, and he was the one who made the whole suggestion to move it, Its hard at first (cause he is sooooo OCD about EVeryTHING!!! ) but I love him and I love being with him all the time

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

we were with eachother ALL the time, It did not make sense for us to be paying 2 rents and living in one place anyway...We wanted to live together before we were married ...not as a trial persay- BUT as a way to really get to know one another...and the first few months were rough...and I am glad we went through those roughs parts and now are completely happy

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

we had a baby....ha, ha

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

I moved to LA with my FI after we were engaged.
His company was going to transfer him to California, which was a great move for his career. He said he wouldn't go unless I was with him, so I told my Super Catholic mother that I was going to live in sin on the other side of the country.

While she doesn't agree with living together before marriage, she was a lot more accepting than I thought she would be.

He is the first person I lived with.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

I was going to slowly move things in and make it permanent after the wedding. But he felt like he was being buried with pressure from school and he told me that he needed only one thing to make him happy - and that was coming home to me. So I moved in.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

I was adamant about NOT living together before marriage. We had been dating for 5 years and he wold sleep over, but not live in my apartment. He moved himself in the weekend after he proposed. I wasn't happy...but I'm glad we did that because it helped a lot once we were married. The first year (that was almost 5 years ago ) was the hardest.

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

We've lived together practically our whole relationship! This probably makes some people sick to their stomach to hear, but you know when you can't get enough of being around someone? Like, you just want to see them and have them with you all the time? Thats us!

Re: SPINOFF - Living with FH

currently we both live at home, but as soon as we know where his internship (he's getting his Phd in Clinical Psychology) is going to be (in 26 days) we will then decide on where to live and figure out the logistics of moving in together. I am kidna excited and a bit scared, I like living at home with my mom, but I really want him to be the person I come home to.
