How long do you wait to move in with your boyfriend?

Answer 1

Honestly, you should only move in with your boyfriend when he becomes your husband, and not before that.

Well, I'm going to tell you what my mother told me. When you move out of your parents' house (if you haven't already done so) and then live on your own for a little while. Just so you can prove to yourself that you can make it. Then start thinking about moving in with him. It will make you more confident if something unexpected ever happened.

I would just like to add to this i had a boyfriend for 5 years after 3 years we moved in together and we struggled like hell not financially but together as a couple we were engaged and we split i think the only people that know whether this would work would be you both. Don't listen to any other person's judgment as i or does anybody else no you only you know what you want. I am now with my new boyfriend and i have been with him nearly a year and i am just about to move in with him, my parent do not think it is a good idea, but i am taking my own advise and following my gut if it fails it fails you have to learn from your mistakes on your own. I am only 20 but i am strong to believe whether people say it is a bad idea you will always listen to you so if you really want to move in with your fella you will cos its what you want.

If you are having to ask if it is too soon to move in, then it is my guess that you think it is and just don't want to say it out loud. Trust your instincts. You DON'T have to move in at all. Take your time, get to know a person, find out if you want to spend that much of your life with them before you commit to anything. Geez, there are people that can hide bad habits for a LOT longer than 3 months. When you move in the walls all go down.

Each one of us is so lucky to hopefully have our independence, and it takes a few years to get to know ourselves and fulfill dreams and set a future for oneself. Youth slips by in the blink of an eye so enjoy it while you can. Three months is certainly not long enough to get to know each other, and although this sounds old fashioned, if you fall in love, go together for a length of time, then what's wrong with getting married the good old fashion way? It's called commitment! If you feel you can be yourself around your boyfriend, that includes things you would normally do in private, and the two of you agree on financial issues of moving in together, then I would say you are ready.

How difficult would it be to move out? I think lovers should stay as independent as possible: this avoids LOTS of conflict potential. If there are relational or monetary benefits (my guess is both), then by all means do move in. Just be ready to move out. Not on a moment's notice, but still fast enough to suit you if things don't work out. Share the benefits. Make up rules you both consider fair from the beginning. There's decidedly too much good advice one could give a young couple-to-be...Find out about the possible problems you could be facing and how you can avoid or cope with them. Read good books on relationships now.

Don't barge in: stay for 3 nights, then a week, slowly moving the stuff you need.

As for the three months, that doesn't mean anything either way. You can know someone heart and soul in less than a week if you stay together permanently and experience the proper situations and are open and honest to one another and yourself. And you can be completely ignorant of the inner workings of the man you've been married to for years.

Most people would say that three months is too soon. This is because you cannot know someone fully over a period of three months alone. The first 6 months (or there abouts) of a relationship is known as 'the honeymoon period'. This is a time where if you're lucky enough to have fallen in love then you're so crazy about each other that you often think with your emotions rather than your head. Moving in together during this time wouldn't really be a wise thing to do. I don't think there is a 'right' time - just make sure that you've been seeing each other long enough to know that you are thinking about practical matters rather than being guided by passion. I would, however, strongly advise that you live with someone for several years before you marry them.

Three months is much, much too soon. The vast majority of couples who live together break up, and it can be very hard on both of them. My advice is to marry someone before you start living together.

I say go for it I moved in with my boyfriend after 2 months and it is working out fine. However we started off with a more flat mate arrangement eg. both paid our share of rent etc. so if anything went wrong we would basically be flat mates. We then slowly moved into more of a couple arrangement sharing money, etc. and now we are engaged!

I was discussing this with my boyfriend who I've been with for nearly 2 years, and we still have 3 years of uni to go through, and we still think we ought not to move in together straight away after that. Obviously we're both very young, and it'd simply be whether it was viable - he says he wants to be able to look after me properly, and doesn't want us living in some crap hole lol... i think it's just whenever you feel ready. if you can't discuss it together, that's a big fat NO to living together!

You can be in a long distance relationship for 2 years or with someone every day for 3 months and the real "amount of time" is different. Calendar time isn't the BEST way to examine a relationship, although many people use it too often. Consider how much you really KNOW the guy/girl and why you're moving in. Is it to see him/her more often and to do things together (like cooking, cleaning, starting your life together, etc) or is is for more practical reasons (not having to drive so far to see them, money, etc)? This will help determine why. Try "staying" at their place for a week or so and see if you'd like it. Cars have test drives, why not relationships ?

Answer 2

There is no standard time given for you to move in with your boyfriend. However, it is always a good idea to discuss the matter with your boyfriend so that the both of you can agree on when the right time may be.

Answer 3

depending on your situation i would still say no, 2 months is fantastic in getting to know one another but if you really think about it 2 months isn't relatively all that long, if you live with your folks i suppose it would be a good experience but if you have an apt. then perhaps not, but this is just from reading the question not the details

Answer 4

Before you get married is too soon. After the marriage is perfect! If you simply live with a guy for a while, then move on to someone else, when you finally do get married, it is much, much easier for you to walk away when the relationship hits a rough spot rather than stick it out. Make your relationships special - but always understanding that when it comes to marriage, you truly want to make a permanent commitment no matter what. Ifyou're not ready to do that yet, you aren't ready to move in with your boyfriend, either.
