Whether you're doing it to take your relationship to the "next level" or simply to lessen the burden of outrageous rent, moving in with your significant other is kind of a big deal.
Not only are you agreeing to see each other's faces every single day, but you'll also have to tackle the challenge of cramming all your stuff into one space.
Exhilaration, excitement, eagerness, anticipation, get ready to experience it all! The day you've dreamed about is here: calling the same address home. This is when you two sign the lease and pop the Champagne to celebrate. Talk about butterflies galore.
The quest for a happy medium will begin. After surviving the moving day and conquering all the stressful scenarios this day brings forth, the unpacking begins. It is during this stage the quest for balance begins.
You know, the joys of compromising. Whether it's with decorating, dividing up chores, or deciding on bedtimes because your space is so small that if one of you stays up, it will keep the other one awake as well, compromising is a must when it comes to tight quarters.
