Rubyemerald Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Me and him have been together for 14 months, he's nearly 20 and I've just turned 19. We had a 2 week break about a month ago as he went through a hard time with depression but we got through it and now we are better then ever. Recently in casual conversation among friends HE brought up living together, I was really shocked as a few months ago he would have run at the sign of any commitment... but we've spoken about it a couple of times since and he's still enthusiastic and positive with the idea. We are both working professionals, full time and between us earn a good wage, (about £2,500 a month) I moved out when I turned 18 and live in a City whereas he still lives with his parents in a village, we live about an hour apart from each other. If we were to move in he'd be moving to my City, which I admire because he's willing to move away from his (our) hometown and commute to work each day. I'm delighted with this whole idea, and really cannot wait to save up and look for places with him, I can't wait to live with him, we really do love each other so much. I don't really have any problem here, just looking for an opinion I guess, we're the only ones out of our friends who have stable full time jobs and who aren't (and don't plan to be) going to uni/further education, it seems like the perfect opportunity for us because our relationship has only ever come under strain because of the distance/lack of communication, he obviously realised how much I mean to him after our break, and now he's getting older and wants to 'fly the nest' he seems eager to take that step with me. I can see peoples views mainly being that we are young, but we're both serious and mature, and it feels right. p,s none of this will be taking place for at least 6months, as we would like to rent a house and will need to save for deposit & filling it! Thankyou, sorry if this was long!
no_love_here Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Hello, the only advice I have for both of you is take a break. You guys are way to young to make a life changing decision. The reason I say life changing is because the next step is marriage.moving in together makes people backslide into marriage as opposed to choosing to get married, but its really your life and your call. Good luck.
