Moving in with your boyfriend can seem more like fun and less like a big life altering decision.While moving in is fun, it’s also something you need to give a lot of thought.
So do you know if he’s a great guy?Do you think both of you will have a perfect relationship after you move in?Will you moving in lead to a proposal and babies soon?The only way to really know for sure is to try it, right?
No relationship is the same, and when it comes to moving in too, no experience will ever be the same.But there are a few things that are common while moving in together.There are right moves. And then, there are a few wrong moves.
If you want to make sure that both of you set off on a perfectly romantic start after moving in together, here are a few things you need to talk about with your boyfriend, and ask yourself the real answers.
# Set ground rules
It may seem trivial and unnecessary, but it’ll save both of you from confusions and frustrations later. Setting clear ground rules can help both of you talk about faults and confusions without arguments. Unless you make rules, there’s no way to tell why the frustrations began in the first place.
# Be sure of your decision
Are you completely sure you want to move in with your boyfriend? Take time to decide about it and weigh all the options. It’s alright to feel confused as long as you’re excited about moving in together. Don’t let infatuation cloud your judgment though.
# Consider your independence
Moving in together is something that is inevitable when you’re in love. It can happen now or it can happen a few years down the lane. You may be in love with your sweetheart, but are you in the right frame of mind and have the intellectual maturity to give up on your own freedom just to share some bedroom space with your lover?
# How is your boyfriend really?
Is he a great guy? Do you really see yourself walking down the aisle with him years from now? If your boyfriend’s gentle and considerate of your feelings, it’s a safe plunge. But if he’s domineering or wants things his way, ask yourself if he’s really the one for you.
# Can both of you take joint decisions?
The decisions in the relationship have to be taken jointly no matter what. Both of you should agree on that before moving in. Everything from deciding on monthly expenses to hanging out with friends has to be taken jointly without arguments.
