We moved in together, got engaged, bought a house, then got married... lol. But it worked for us, and if I had to do it again I'd do the same thing.

No we didnt. I'm glad but there was definitely a difficult transition- more for him than me. We've moved 3 x this year but I think we're finally settled in our apt now and everythings been pretty cool Chat Icon

We lived together out of state for 9 months then when we moved back to NY when moved back in with our parents. Eventually we got an apartment and lived together again before the wedding. It's an experience I would never change for the world bc I knew that I could live with him and he didn't drive me crazy.

No we didn't. I wouldn't change it. The transition wasn't easy but I knew he was the one and would have married him anyway. Besides, I liked feeling like there was something new and different about our relationship (even though I know it is new whether you live together or not). I guess I just liked being traditional about it.

Yes we actually owned our home before we even got engaged. If I had to do it all over again I would do it the exact same way



Same Here!

DH and I moved in together 6 months before the wedding. WE were initially planning on moving in after the wedding but because of our circumstances we had to do it earlier.

I would not change a thing. I love living with him. There was no real adjustment period for us. It was such a smooth transition and I loved being able to come home to him everyday.

We did. At first I was very against it, but it made the married life transition a piece of cake. Once we were married I knew how good it could be and how bad it could be (living together). If I had to do it over again, I would do it the same way.



10000000000000% agreed!!!!

Yes we lived together and I wouldn't change that for the world. IMO, I think it's important to make sure you can live with someone before you decide to marry them.

We dated for a year before moving in together. Lived together for 10 months while engaged and still trying to get used to it. Chat Icon

We did. DH and I moved in together July 07 and he proposed Nov 07 (and we got married in Nov 08). I had my own apt for years and DH lived with his family. I had to move out of my apt so we decided to move in together because we knew we were on the path to engagement.

Id definitely do it again. I think you should know you can live with someone because you get married. lol. I'm a brat so it was a good thing to be sure DH could deal with me and my OCD. lol
