I'm just curious what the trend is in the hive as to when you moved in together? Was it before you were engaged? After you were engaged but before you were married? Or after you were married? What was your decision process like and how did you know that was the right time for you?
We lived together while we were dating at a point in college, but live separately now. I like both!
My fiance and I arent moving in together until after we get married.
We had been together for about 18 months before FI offically moved in. We lived together for almost a full year before we got engaged. We've been together for 3.5 years now, and lived together for the last 18 months or so. We just did what felt right to us.
We moved in together when we bought our house about 2 and a half years ago. We were engaged but it wasn't public knowledge yet.
My FI and I are moving in together before the end of the year. I am so nervous, but so excited! I was a bad roommate in college and ruined a bunch of friendships. I hope I live with my boy better than girls! Did any of you have experiences like this?
We aren't living together before we are married. It makes me that much more excited to be his wife :)
We are married and STILL not living together =]. We lived together before we were engaged, for a summer, and we are some serious super shackers when we fly back and forth. I feel like I could legitimately click all 3 of those buttons, so I won't click any at all =]
we moved in together about 5 months after we started dating and about 14 months after we met.
Before we were engaged, although we had both discussed marriage, and agreed it was something we wanted to do within the next few years.
Honestly, we always wanted to move in together, but decided to live apart for at least a year to more develop our independent selves since we're so young. He ended up spending almost every night at my apartment, and my roommate's boyfriend was also over all the time. We all got along really well, and decided to find a nicer, bigger place that we could all share. It's worked out nicely, but I do long for the day it's just us!
we moved in together around july and will probably be engaged in the next month or so...
After the engagement but before the wedding. It was a practical and financial decision, but it was hard because it made my dad SUPER disappointed. He's pretty much over it, now, I think, but I couldn't have gotten over it without the support of the hive!
We moved in together right after we both graduated college (3.5 years ago)
It is kind of funny.......... when I met man ofd my dreams, I was working with a mutual friend of ours in another town. To save money on gas, etc, I would stay the week at our friends house and go back to my apartment on the weekends. Well, man of my dreams was his roommate!
We ended up hanging out every night and talking and gradually got to know each other. Then things moved forward.
We stayed in that situation for a couple months, then decided he might just as well move into my apartment with me. It's been that way for a year now.
We won't move in together until after we're married!
It's kind of against the law & if we lived together one of us would get deported lol.
@RB - how does that work?! I know nothing about immigration laws, but that sounds crazy.
We're not living together until we're married and that's seriously one of the reasons I'm so excited for our wedding day!!
@lily: Well, the only way we *could* live together would be illegally. As a Canadian, I cannot stay in the USA for longer than 6 consecutive months. I couldn't work, I couldn't drive (if I got pulled over they would arrest & deport me- with zero option for re-entry for any reason)... I couldn't do a whole lot of stuff. Also, his job requires him to "uphold the law" so it could hurt him at work lol.
Basically we're applying for a K-1 visa, which allows me entry to the US with the intent to become a permanent resident. :) We have 90 days to get married & this way I can get a SSN, I can work, go to school & have a life as a US citizen! haha there's more too it, but thats immigration in a nutshell!
I'm not engaged yet and we live together. I didn't live with my XH before we were married. I think that was the WORST mistake ever. Had we lived together, we would have quickly learned it wouldn't work, so now I could not imagine promising to spend the rest of my life with someone who I had not done that with.
With the Boy, we moved in together 9 months into the realtionship, but we had known each other for quite some time before. I have never been happier and it works best for our relaionship.
We moved in together after we had been dating for about 8-9 months, and we got engaged at around the 3.5 / 4 year mark... so definitely before! :-)
got engaged last Christmas eve. Getting married June 2010. FI just moved in in September. JAMIE who just posted here -- I'm having real adjustment problems. He seems to be okay; thought it'd be the other way around. I can't seem to get my emotional/psychological act together on this. He's a great guy, lovely-beyond-words "roommate", believe me, but I'm intolerant I guess, of differences, or something. Or maybe I'm just having a hard time letting go of my whatever-it-was I've had all these years and forging ahead as a couple. Duh! I'm so down on myself for this difficulty I'm having. He's so cool about it. Nothing seems to be bothering him. How can this be? He's the one who lived at home, like forever, and has a too-close attachment to family. Me -- I've been pretty independent for a long time (could that be it)? All I know is there's no room for bitchy in life and I better get with the program. Maybe I should move this e-mail to snarky brides because you all seem so sweet, all sugar and no spice, whereas I'm so busy putting down his family members to him, executing them one by one, his lack of ambition, I mean, shame on me. Shame on me! Girls?
Well I voted "before we were engaged" because he was essentially living with me (sleeping at my apartment every night, keeping most of his things there) but his lease wasn't up on his apartment until a month after we were engaged so I suppose TECHNICALLY it was after.
We had been together for 2 years. I moved into his apartment on my graduation day. Like, took off my cap and gown, packed all my crap in my car, and went there. No way was I moving back in with my parents ;o)
We lived together for 2.5 years before we got engaged.
After we got engaged, but we were practically living together way before that. He wanted to live on campus cuz he was still in college, but I didn't. So he stayed with his roommates and I moved to a one bedroom off campus. He was pretty much living at my house all the time though!
We moved in together after dating one year. I never thought I would do that with a guy, but it felt completely natural. We got engaged 10 months later.
after engaged...we put my house up for lease and it went faster than we thought!
We bought a house together this summer. He lives there I won't move in until after we are married. I rent a duplex less that 3 miles down the road. Obviously, not living together before the wedding is important to us.
We started living together about 6 months before we got engaged.
We moved in together about six month after we started dating, and lived together for four years before we got married. Looking back, we moved in together pretty fast. We're the first to admit, while we mainly moved in together because we loved each other, we also partially moved in together out of convenience (to save money by splitting rent). It was a good move for us, but yeah, it was fast in retrospect.
I wanted to wait til we were married, but we ended up getting a deal on a house. I insisted on being engaged at least.
We moved in pretty fast together, because he switched cities for me. It was pretty fast and I'm sure people thought it was strange but it worked for us. Although those first months getting used to each other were entertaining. :)
We moved in together about 10 months after we started dating. We had lived together for three years by the time we got engaged -- will be four years by the time the wedding rolls around.
we are actually neighbors and that's by choice. he'll be picking up and moving two doors down after we get married!
My fiance and I have been together for almost 6 years and we have a 3 year old son, and we still dont live together. We are waiting til after the wedding. It is making me look even more forward to the wedding.
