Under what circumstances would you allow your SO to move in or agree to move in with them? Secondly, have you ever had a live-in SO? What was that experience like?

  1. With some ground rules, I'm not gonna keep the household up by myself.

  2. Never, I'm living the bachelor life.

I would ideally like to have separate rooms and a huuuuuge kitchen, other than that, I am cool with whatever - I have lived with a few girlfriends, it was fine if not a tiny bit cat-heavy, I can pretty much co-exist with anyone though so it being someone I actually like is a bonus

I don’t know. I never lived with my husband prior to marriage, and I honestly preferred it that way. Not to mention that our parents would have been mighty upset with us if we had done so. Both my parents and his mom are very conservative.

If we had been together for a while I'd love to move in together but i think it's important for us to have our own separate spaces within the home

If it was getting to a serious stage in the relationship, like if we’ve discussed marriage or children, I’m gonna want to live with them first to see if we do really fit together.

I did live with my ex fiancé, for like 9 years I think. It wasn’t great. Looking back on that relationship I clearly ignored a lot of shit when we lived together, it should not have lasted that long.

If the bills were too expensive, it would make sense to live together. And no, I haven't had one

Honestly... I think I'd rather live on my own. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and as an introvert I re-energise when I'm on my own. So I guess the circumstances would be 1. a kid and 2. a 'man' room.

Only if my SO was an Eskimo and we had a big enough igloo. Two stories no less!

Each has to have their separate room(s). Yes, I had my SO in a shared flat. The older I get the less tolerant I grow when it comes to the nitty gritty details of living, no wonder many old couples treat each other with little respect and a constant level of aggression. All due to toilet paper, tooth paste and empty fridges.

I'd love to move in with an SO. Forever. But it probably wouldn't be forever, most relationships don't last forever, so it'd probably be pointless.
