Avoid being coy about such a thing. do not act if you aren’t really like you are a “let’s see where it goes” kind of person when in reality you’re jonesing to get married, and don’t say you’re open to the idea of marriage. As I did, because at the time, I saw moving in together as being much further along the road to marriage than he did if I had to do it over again, I would not have moved in with my husband as soon.

First, it has been great. Second, they are the plain things i’ve discovered:

Two computer systems. Two desks. Two studies/dens would even have been better.

Each of my mail either gets into this field or stays within the mailbox! (Otherwise i would perhaps not see a bill for 2 months.)

In the event that you want it clean, clean. No matter who left the meal where. Then talk about it if you’re doing the cleaning way too often.

Therefore fundamentally we just stopped doing meals, etc, at it every time I tried to pitch in because I couldn’t stand being told I was shitty.
