What Do You Wish You Had Known Before Moving In Together?

Because this is a really big deal, guys.

Living with a significant other (S.O.) is fun, convenient, and a really important step in the relationship.

But, as with any roommate situation, there can be unforeseen issues that only come to light when you're sharing the same space with someone.

So we want to know what advice you would go back and give yourself before moving in with an S.O. for the first time.

Maybe you wish you'd had a more serious talk about finances and the best way to pay all the bills — before the first month's rent came around.

Or maybe you wish you had both put together a list of all the things you really cannot deal with in your living space.

Perhaps you wish you knew how important it was to have another place to go when you get all riled up — which could have prevented a lot of fights.

Or that it's okay to still have your own life, and that you don't need to do everything together 24/7 just because you live together now.

And — as pessimistic as it sounds — maybe you wish you had come up with a feasible moving-out plan in the event that things don't work out.

We want to hear all of the advice you wish you'd had before moving in together as a couple.

Share it in the comments below and it could end up in an upcoming BuzzFeed Health post.
