Been with my girl for 7 years, engaged, living together the last 4

don’t go to bed mad at each other. Work it out. Don’t let shyt linger into the next day, ever.

have some time to yourself. You can’t spend every waking minute with someone else, it’s not healthy. It’s perfectly normal for her to be reading a novel on the couch or doing a zoom call w her girls while I’m in the basement working out or playing video games in another room. Spend time together and cherish that time and prioritize that time, but also, both people need time to themselves and that’s OK. It’s different compared to when you just see each other on the weekend or something.

split some of the household duties. Ill mow the lawn and weed whack, she handles weeds when they hit the mulch. I take out the trash, she takes out recyclables. Just divvy shyt up.

More and more you all are reminding me of the posters on LSA... talking about spaces :mjlol:... I guess you want to be on a forum where everyone agrees with you?

FYI, you should start proofreading your posts before submitting them. That was a hard read, lol.
:mjlol:

As someone who failed at this, this is just my takeaway from lessons learned. Have boundaries. If you don't have a two bedroom apartment, have a TV in the living room and bedroom. Your together time is important, but so is having your space. Staying on that note, you don't have to do every single thing together. Away time doing your own things and hobbies are important. When you're living apart you're still operating under your own rules. Now that she's moving in things are going to change. You have to be in the mindset that you're working as a team now, and you two have to work out the dynamics of that team. And to go off of what @Deacon Frye said, get that Draino that comes with the snake, or just invest in a toilet snake as well. And make sure you always put that toilet seat down. The last thing you want, is to be sleeping peacefully at 3am and to be woken up by an angry girlfriend who fell all the way in the toilet when she went to pop a squat.

Now you’re being extreme. I never said I hated it here. Not liking particular comments doesn’t equate to a disdain for the entire site, lol. Did you just want to say that? FYI, the locker room is not the only thing here. I happen to like a lot of topics.. Excuse me for having an opinion :pachaha:
Ahh I see you’re taking this personal. Wrong person to ask.

Have a nice day.

This still doesn't explain why you should get engaged before you move in with somebody. It's a lot easier to break up than call off a (public) engagement.
I personally don't see the reason to move in with someone unless you are sure you want to marry that person. I also feel people are too quick to get married
