7 Things to Think About Before Staying Together

5. Possessions and storage

When you move in together, you are going to bring in plenty of possessions – some belong to you, some belong to her and everything is important to each one of you. So issues relating to ‘what is yours’ and ‘what is mine’ and their storage are likely to arise. So you should think of it beforehand so as to avoid any problems later on.

6. Money matters

One of the touchiest subjects among couples who live in is money. You are staying together all right, but you are also not married. So is it all your responsibility? Or should you just split up all expenses till you actually wear the ring? In one way, the first option may appear more logical to some because eventually you are going to be husband and wife, but then what if things do not work out? Matters relating to money are more likely to cause problems than anything else and therefore you should talk about it from before and arrive at a consensus as to how you are going to manage your finances.

7. Altered sex life

Last but not the least, your sex life is no longer going to be the same. When you move in together, you are not going to be as sexually active as you used to be before. This is not something uncalled for – it is pretty normal. Now that you are staying together and seeing each other more often than before, you are not going to have the same spice and excitement in your sex life, and it is quite normal. What you must do is be ready to accept such a change and adjust to it. While staying together, intimacy would become more extensive and therefore, looking forward to an intercourse for sexual release is likely to take a backseat which is something both of you should be okay with.
