Ok - really curious - and this could be for everyone...
A. How long were you together before moving in together
or
B. How long will it BE when you DO move in together (and are you waiting til after the wedding?)
DH and I moved in together after 4 months of knowing each other...we WOULD have waited longer - but i was in an apartment with a roommate I HATED and plus I was already at his house literally 6 out of 7 nights a week...I moved in with him pretty much the weekend after his apt got broken into and his tv and computer were stolen - I told him I'd let him have one of mine (I had one in the living room and one in my bedroom)...and then I moved in about a week later.
just really curious about everyone else!
We're not moving in together til after the wedding. Both of our parents would flip their lids, even if we're totally sick of going back and forth.
We are waiting until after the wedding and at that time we will have been together for 2 years and three months.
We moved in together after almost 2 years of dating. We would've done it sooner but our college had a rule that all Freshmen and Sophomores have to live on campus unless you got a medical excuse. We moved out of the dorms and into our first rental the summer between Sophomore and Junior year.
9 Months after we started dating. My sister was moving out of her apartment, and I had no where to go, and had just left my job. FI's parents let me live with them for a month while we were looking for Apartments down here.
We were together for 2 years before moving in together (one year in college, one year in different countries). We've been living together now for over 9 years...the length of time is mostly due to the fact that, up until about 8 months ago, neither of us envisioned getting married - we live we've been married since we moved in. Now, looking forward to being married & starting a family some time in the near future.
We moved in together after three years, though we won't actually share a room until after the wedding ;)
We moved in together after 10 months of dating, but I had been staying at his old apartment virtually every weekend before that.
we moved in together about 2 years after we met, but we were long distance that entire time and we moved in once we could live in the same city :)
We were together for over a year when we moved in together.
we moved in together after about a year and 9 months of being together. he had a two-year lease at a really good rate over the two years, and when his lease was up and they sent him the renewal notice, the management company jacked up the rent an additional $400/month more. He was thinking of moving to Brooklyn, which would have made it EXTREMELY difficult to see each other since I was living & working in Queens at the time and barely went into Manhattan. since i was living with two roommates without a formal lease (and so could move anytime as long as i gave sufficient notice), i proposed we move into together whenever it made sense for us.
i kinda wish i had waited a bit longer, or at least got a more formal commitment that he was in it for the long run - i think moving in together for him signified "sealing the deal," and it's been sort of a backwards slide. hopefully he will snap out of it and make me realize this was all worth it!
We were together for about 6 months, and he was living about 2 hours away. When I graduated from college, we moved into together in the city we're in now for my (then) job. That was in June, 2004. Man, time flies!!!
We subletted a summer place for a couple months, about 4 months after we began dating. It was a perfect trial period, although we weren't looking at it that way! When he went back to school he still lived in the dorms for a year while I lived seperately off campus (though we saw each other most nights anyway). The following summer we moved into a house together.
So.. easy answer is after 1.5 years with a trial period :)
We were together for 9 months before we officially moved in together.
Well I officially became "couch-surfing" gf at about... whatever semester it was I had that AWFUL roommate ... maybe 9 months? I spent a lot of time at his place before then, but between the housing office not having my keys ready and having the roommate from the worst place ever, I actually started moving things into his place. After the move-in fiasco, he would call and ask if I was awake, he couldn't sleep, did I want to come over? Ok, I'll come over. Then, I never stayed in the room, because stupid-princess roomie was a pain and a half, as were the RA and building director. Ugh!
August 2008 (2.75 yrs), we moved to a townhouse, and August 2009, a house.
We didnt move in together until a week before the wedding - I moved in our new apartment in March and he moved in the week before in June. My parents were against us moving in together before the wedding, if they werent we probably wouldve a few months after being engaged.
We were together for more than 5 years when we moved in together (including 3+ in college), and lived together for 2 years before the wedding.
We moved in together in March and we had been together for 7 years. I never ever wanted to move in with him before marriage but the apartment I had by myself was in a bad neighborhood and he needed out of his place so I just said screw it and moved in with him.
Over two years after meeting and two months before the wedding.
We officially moved in together after 5 years of dating. Last year we lived in separate places, but FI spent about 6 nights/week at my apt, and then it was every single night. We decided to move in with my roommate from last year and her boyfriend, in a 2 bed/2 bath apartment so we could split rent 4 ways.
In an ideal world, I think it'd just be the two of us. But we're young, it's nice to socialize, and we have a much better apt than we would otherwise. We'll have plenty of time to live just us later.
3 years before we moved in together, its something we said we would NEVER do, but you know what they say.. never say never!
we moved in together about five and a half months after we started dating. however we'd known each other about 14 months at that time.
We will move in together after a year of dating and six months of being engaged. We're moving in together six months before the wedding.
We moved in when we were together about 2 1/2 years. We were engaged for 3 months and bought a house, we moved in together into the new house.
We moved in together after about 3 years. Got engaged after 4.5 and will be getting married after 7. We take our time with everything.
Well, it was something that I said I would never do, but I moved in with my FI after 6 months of dating. (yikes!)After a year and 1/2 of living together, he proposed :-) (which calmed the fears of my mother who was not in favor of my decision!) In retrospect, I don't regret the decision at all. We will be married just shy of our 3rd anniversary.
I don't think we will move in together until after the wedding...but who knows.
I think I'm the odd one out here... We were together for just about 8 years before we moved in together. We'll be married a few months shy of our 10th anniversary.
We moved in together 2 years after we started dating and have been living together for 2 1/2 years.
We moved in together after 1 year and 5 months, mostly because we were LDR for a year and 5 months and when I moved to KY to be with him, we just moved in together! My only requirement was that we be engaged before we moved in, and that happened :-)
2 years all long distance before we moved in together. He moved to my city and then moved in when he made it clear that the relationship would be progressing forward.
We were at 3.5 years before we moved in together (it was 10 months after the engagement and 8 months before the wedding).
@resabug - you and I aren't too far apart. We were at just over 5 years when we moved in together, we'll be at 8 years when we marry.
We'd been dating a bit over 2 months and had met 1 or 2 months prior to that. It just seemed to make sense - we were spending every night together anyway which meant at least one of us had a long drive to work the next morning. His place was fantastic and a lot closer to both of our workplaces. In retrospect, while I can't say I have any regrets (moving in together so soon has meant we've had to work through our problems instead of throwing in the towel which we might have done if we'd just been dating and obviously this is a good thing now we're engaged), I do wish I'd waited a bit longer. I'd only been out of my parents home for 18 months or so (I was 21), and was living in a group house with my best friend and another girl - we were having a blast and moving out so suddenly did cause some friction with my best friend. I think I should have held out for another 6 months or so and it would have been fine, but there's nothing I can do about it now.
Mm. About the same as you I think....Met in late December, moved in in February. Okay, so....two months.
