How do you know if it is the right time to move in with your significant other?

Jen gave you a great answer and probably one you wanted to hear.I'm glad that her story had a happy ending.Still I would use caution in making my decision. Statistics prove that  men that can get the milk under the fence don't buy the cow. Other words if you live with him and take care of him why would he want to risk marriage?

Most people go through periods in their relationship in which they wonder if the "grass is greener" somewhere else.  If you feel like wanting to leave much of the time, then you need to figure out what you are missing in this relationship.  If it is just a passing thought, then your relationship is probably fine.\n\nSit down and think about what your life would be like if you left your man versus what it will be like if you stayed with him.  Which gives you more of a feeling of happiness?\n\nMaybe you're not ready to settle down and need time to explore other relationships.  If this is the case, you should end your current relationship as if you don't, you will most likely regret it later and may even come to resent your boyfriend.\n\nIf you do indeed decide to stay with your current man, then spicing up the relationship would be a great idea.  Talk over and role play sexual fantasies with him.  Watch erotic videos together. Go out on dates like you did when you first met.  Try some new activities together so you have more in common.\n\nGood luck and best wishes from ny

Totall making sense. When your happy and in love w/ the man of your dreams. Your happy to do all those house-wife things. So you go girl. Keep doing what your doing sounds like the 2 of you are very happy together.

I don't agree....some relationships just aren't meant to be, it has nothing to do with moving in with each other before marriage. I honestly think living together before marriage is a good thing because you get to know the person and figure out if you are going to work out. It better than running off to Vegas getting married in t-shirt and jeans to someone you barely know. Marriage is sacred, it should not be rushed.

Sweetie I moved in with my fiance before i ever graduated. We have been together for about 2 years and we are so happy together! It's hard to be in a relationship. Times get tough, but you have to pull through together. You need to be ready for the hard times, but i don't think age has anything to do with it. I mean, come on, married two years, and i'm only 18!!!

There is nothing wrong with it. Just remember that moving in together creates certain joint financial obligations; so make sure she is ready to commit financially and ethically/

My opinion, if you both feel that strongly about moving across the country together, why are you not getting married first?  Marriage should come first, in my opinion.  I once moved south in the past to be nearer to a male boyfriend but I chose to live in my own home.  You will have to make your own choices.  Best wishes =)

When you are ready.  If you two are serious about each other, then go ahead.  Find the right time when you feel ready and she feels ready too.

I do that,i don't know why but i do! I think you just need to be happy with yourself and being alone.To make sure your not dependant on someone else for happiness,then you'll want to move in because you'll be brining happiness into the relationship!

If you both really love each other, then I think you should move. Being in love is the best thing that can happen to someone. It just makes every day a little before. So my answer is yes.  :-) and good luck.

right time to grow together.  many factors in your life may answer that better.  do you have $ saved? family supports? another income? then perhaps is the right time.

well the first thing you should consider is would your friendship change if you moved in with him?  Often times, people dont mesh as well as they thought they would prior to moving in together.  What if when you get to collge you want to explore other men....what will that do to your relationship/roommateship?  if you do move in, make sure u two establish boundaraies and set expectations.  Communication is key!!

At the time you may not see it this way but my motto is "everything happens for a reason". You can't always see the reason at the time but later on you will look back down the road and agree. Don't stress the situation so much, both of you should talk about making compromises, and just go with the flow. Things will happen in due time and if its meant to be it will be!

well i moved in with my boyfriend after knowing him for 2 weeks. But the bad thing is that i moved 100 miles away from my family. But we are still together and been dating for 2 years!  So you are the only one that can make that decision. It could work, but then again living together so soon could cause problems. I say take a chance and go for it. Oh yea and I was 17 when i moved out!

My husband and I got engaged early and We both should probably of waited a lil longer.. We don't regret it now... \n\nBut we both do look back and think we needed to grow and learn a lil more about life and being together as girlfriend and boyfriend.\n\nI'd say wait it out if you both feel like you should be together forever then it's worth the wait.\n\nAnything is possible and you should weight it all out... Should I rush or should I take my time?\n\nAsk yourself that because in the end your heart knows what's best not your inner-voice.\n\nJust take it one day at a time and see what happens!\n\nGood Luck!

well, I'm hoping that your relationship does work out. I'm in the same situation, but my bf is a year older that yours. We are talking about moving in together after I graduate next year, and the talking has already started. I believe that if both of you are willing to work on it, then there is no reason that your relationship will fail. Good luck.

Wait until your married or until you have lived together for a couple of years.
