LIVING TOGETHER YET?

Should you live together or live apart? How do you know if it's time to move into together? Financial savings should not be the reason, unless you also accept that the relationship can end up with you both as roommates paying your share.
Moving into together can have its pros and cons. This is where you both should make a list and be honest.
For example, if you have a need for personal time, then tell him or her. Sitting on your bed or on the couch with a book, watching TV or staring at your laptop means, "I like to be alone for a bit". That's perfectly normal and acceptable, what wouldn't be fair is if you never shared that vital piece of information. Then when you are overwhelmed with too much together time suddenly your behavior changes, to the negative.
Each of you may have a different perspective of what is shared time, living together time, alone time, etc. If one of you works in the home, it doesn't mean that when your finished for the day you are ready to be social. Yet, the partner who is home also, is.
Living together can add excitement and more passion or be a disaster. Setting boundaries and discussing them will make an adjustment a pleasant one.
