I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 27. He has his own house. We have been together for a few months. In about 6 months he would like me to move in with him. I'm so excited. It's scary though cos I'm still living at home. It will be a massive change. I can't wait. Just wanted some people to give advice or anything cos this is going to be a massive life change for me!

My boyfriend and I are living together & we love it ! If you love being with your boyfriend(i am sure you do) and feel comfortable around him then you may really love living with him and you get to know him SO much better.moveing in together is like anotherway of getting to know each other!

Wow, those people above me are crazy. Just do whatever you do now to not get pregnant and if things aren't working out/he's being a jerk/whatever remember you can always move back home!! and then you can get your own own place.
Me & my boyfriend were dating for 2 years before we moved in together. I was out of my parents house before that too. We've been living together now for another 2 years and I think its great. Our schedules work out so that during the week we're both super busy, and if we didn't live together we wouldn't ever see each other. I still don't see him some days and we have a 1 bedroom apartment! We're never home.
Anyway, you're older than me, but you haven't been dating long or lived alone. If you're really down with it, do it. If you have doubts or feel like he is pushing you into moving in with him, don't do it. Maybe get an apartment with some female friends.
It will be quite a change, but I think you'll enjoy it! Unless one of you is messy and the other clean! or if one of you snores.. or if one likes the house hot and the other cold.. or if you eat all his food, oh good times

Expect to be pregnant within the first year. There currently is a strong tendency for this in America. Also, you will fight over money more than anything; who buys groceries, pays the bills, etc. Finally, get used to hearing, "It is my house" in arguments. Plus, should you decide to get married once you realize your pregnant, have a crappy life for a couple of months, and then go for a divorce you will find out that since he purchased the house prior to marriage you are not entitled to any share of it.
Best of luck.

Why do women alway give the milk away for free instead of making a man buy the cow? Then they get all bent out of shape when he doesn't want to marry after wasting God only knows too many years of your life. In my opinion, moving in with someone without the benefit of marriage is a huge mistake.

Mandy:
Don't do it. If you want to move in with him, do so after getting married. If he will not marry you, then you are just being used.
Women need to be strong by standing up and demanding the respect due them.
At 27 he should be mature enough to consider you for his wife.
I am waiting for marriage -- my husband will be the first and only man who gets me!

its 6 months from now. dont sweat it.
when the day comes where you two are still together and happy in 6 months, then is when you might get nervous and reask this question.
for now, live up the fact that you have a caring boyfriend and have something to look forward to.

Do you want to marry him someday? Statically 2/10 people who cohabitat stay together. Then you have the divorce rate 50% . So those two together give you 1/10 chance. I wish you wisdom

Honey i've been there and done that. This is not a good idea, you may love your boyfriend, but you need a place of your own. You both need your own personal space because you will get tired of being around one another and it's too soon anywayz.

MANDY , please just make sure that there is honesty first,there must be a verey strong comunication bond and be carefull plan for anything you dont realy ever know someone untill you live with them, my past tells me that ev en with my own family will betray me . not that it cant work but it takes every thing that you have to keep a relationshbip working so plan ahead for every possible outcome. i know that you want to get away from the folks but once you move away from your parents things will never go back to the way that thay were berfore you movede out
