I ponder this question and share my personal experiences

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.

Hugh Mackay

A question that I have been thinking about for most of my adult life is when should a couple move in together? Seriously, should it be before they get engaged? After? Is it better to wait until after marriage? I’m sure everybody will have their own opinions regarding the matter.

Anyways, the first time I moved in with my girlfriend, it didn’t work out too well. There were many factors to the demise of the relationship but in the end, we never should have moved in together.

Here I am a decade later, on the verge of moving in with my girlfriend of a year and a half. Things have been going really well, and most importantly we love each other.

Our relationship is very strong, in large part because of our willingness to be vulnerable and open through communication. We have discussed important topics such as finances, cleaning schedules, dietary habits, etc. We talk about these things not only for the short term but for down the road after we (hopefully) are married.

It seems as if this is the right step to take, and one that is important if we are going to end up together permanently. One thing I can honestly tell you is that our relationship is completely different than the previous ones I’ve had.

I feel like we are meant to be together and that I can be my true self with her. We each have long term goals that we are focused on and we have a vision that will lead us to success and happiness.

With all of these things in place, I still have doubts. There are sometimes voices in my head that tell me I’m making the wrong decision. Maybe that’s normal and the same kinds of doubts I will have when I propose to her.

However, I also know that nothing is predictable. There is always a chance that a relationship doesn’t end up successful, even when long term happiness seems inevitable.

We are set to move in a week from today, and I will share with you all updates on our relationship and new living arrangement. If any of you are in a similar situation or have experienced success or disappointment from moving in with your partner, I would love to hear it. As always, stay positive!
