I've been together with my boyfriend for almost 6 years now, 4 of which were while I was away at college. We first started dating almost 7 years ago, and have known each other for almost 8 years. My question is this - I will finally be graduating and we're planning to move in together before I start my new full time job. We're going to be coming out of a long distance relationship straight into living in arrangements, so I realize this is not going to be easy and we must take precautions. What tips do you have about the situation? Is there anyone who has done something similar and has some advice to offer?

I say go for it. It will be hard to adjust to each others quirks at first but you will both have to have patience. Make sure you don't become to naggy (or him either) about how the other person lives. It is something you both need to sit down and really talk about. Also it is good to live with someone before you get married. Good luck.

i know you have known one another for years , yet , it does not make for every days knowing and living together yet ...
you need to date one another within close living range now and get to really know each other ...........you may be surprised or he ?
so please , get some independence on your shoulders , have a small place on your own for a while .........learn what the working
world is all about first ......
see what he is all about as well .........
in time ? it will tell you , if you two are meant to be together and to stay together ....:-)
long distance relationships and living together ? are a total different thing ...............PATIENCE ..............
good luck to you :-)

This is difficult. I knew someone who did it, and it didn't work out. But it may not happen to you. No one but you will have an idea as far as what to expect from your boyfriend, since you've known him for a long time. Good luck!!

I think you would be better off getting your own place and moving into the relationship a little slower than living together.

Do not do it! Get your own place. Moving in together will cause a lot of stress and tension in your relationship. I have seen it happen to many of my friends. Keep your freedom and space. Good luck. :-))

Get some white tape and divide the house until you get used to each other again.
Seriously, it should be something you would be looking forward to.
If you are having second thoughts....back to mommy and daddy you go.

Premarital counseling, and then a marriage before living together. People who live together have a really high break-up rate.
