Have Separate Bathroom Sinks

Just trust me on this one. If it’s at all possible, you want his and her sinks and mirrors in the bathroom. You will never fight more often or more viciously than when it comes to getting space in the bathroom counter.

Hell, aim for separate entire bathrooms if you can. This may well save your relationship and your life.

Be Prepared For Your Relationship To Change

Living together means that changes to your relationship are inevitable. Even couples who’ve dated for years prior to living together will go through the long and sometimes torturous routine of learning all of their honey-bunny’s little quirks and habits. The little things that were cute while you weren’t up in each other’s business all day and all night will become teeth-grindingly annoying. Snuggling together and waking up wrapped in each other’s arms starts to become less romantic when you’re sucking in his morning breath and he’s realizing that you fart like the brass section of a John Williams retrospective in your sleep. She’ll resent the pubic hair on the toilet rim, you’ll want to know why you suddenly don’t have any space on the bathroom sink. The little things that you used to be able to laugh off will cause you to pull your hair out as you resist the urge to blow your top.

That 24-hour sex-a-thon you were expecting will also dry up… likely sooner than you expect. When you’re living separately, you have to make time for sex; you only have so much time together so you have to make the most efficient (and squishy) use of it that you can. When you have all the time in the world, carving out naked time becomes that much less important. There will be nights when all the two of you will want to do is collapse on the couch, watch The Flash and turn your brains off…. sex will be the last thing on your mind. Living together means that you will start to take sex for granted. It’s like having your favorite movie on all day, every day – it’s great at first, but eventually you’re going to get bored of it and then it will become the background noise of your life as you start focusing on everything else.

The survival of your relationship after you move in together will require effort on both of your parts. The two of you will have to put more work in than you expect – not just to adjusting to your new life together but also keeping your relationship fresh and exciting.

Don’t let the challenges intimidate you. Living together is a momentous step in the course of a relationship… but it’s one that can lead to some of the best times and fondest memories of your lives.
