When did you move in with your partner? Is it a good idea to suggest this if they haven’t even told their family about me? I feel like the answer is no but we basically spend every night with each other anyways. Been officially dating for 5 months, less serious for just over a year now

Have an open-ended discussion about it. I wouldn’t *suggest* anything because it can create a lot of pressure. IMHO you already answered your own question.

Side note: Just because you spend every night together doesn’t mean you’re ready to live together. It’s a big step that can hold different significance for different people.

smart

The side note is a good perspective I didn’t think about. Thank you!

Does anyone else feel like their S/O is becoming more like a roommate? We’re in our early thirties and have lived together now for three years.

My fear is that if this is what it feels like when we’re young, that it will be be like when we’re in our 40s and 50s? Has anyone else gone through this and how did it work out for you?
