If you have a significant other would you prefer that you two live with each other or the both of you have your own places? (Page 2)

[Autember]

I love living with my boyfriend but there are definitely some days that I wish I still had my own apartment lol at the end of the day tho, I am glad we live together!

[ArtemisSilver]

My ideal would be to build a villa with a common garden and a few shared amenities like a pool and a lounge with one wing for myself and apartments for each of the women in my life and their kids.

Maybe a common nursery space. I understand when people need a little peace and distance, and I would like to work without interruption, but I also want to keep the people I like close to me.

[dustybiker]

Depends on how much you value your youth. Do you want to waste it or really find out if you match with someone or not?

[RobT312]

We live together and wouldn’t change a thing. I like it much better than when we had our own places

[Guy13]

Own places…Own lives…merge them outside of “married influence” that in and of itself is False. - and positive is always Loss.

[AviatorTom]

Living together is the norm, but sometimes my SO and I go n separate vacations... which is a good idea.

[Freyke]

I put living together, but having your own place. Switch it up a little. That is how we do it. We still have our own place and lives but half of the week she stays with me.

[DermalPunch]

I put living separately. We should have our place but if he spends time with family and is between places a bit that's better for me. It's good for missing them and we bith get to keep a little air of mystery about ourselves.

[Marushka]

The ideal is having a shared area but also having separate spaces like a room for each individual.

[ethanallen]

They call those "Ice caves" in Antartica.

[Juxtapose]

At least then there is some privacy and the couple can always choose a bed to sleep in together.

[bolverk]

B, everyone needs their own space.
If you are with your SO 24/7 you are bound to start causing friction over the most mundane of issues

[Literalbillionaire17]

If we haven’t tied the knot I rather have two separate homes.

[ElementoP]

Aye, you're a smart girl. I bought a house with my girlfriend last September and during a big fallout between us I found myself asking my parents for money, which I haven't done since I was a kid.
Luckily we pulled through, but that shit is scary. You definitely want a legal binding before you go down that road

[Reaper1985]

trying to evict an ex partner can be a legal headache if it wasn't a shared breakup. so living separately until your at least engaged is ideal for most couples.

[SolitarySolace]

Live separately. Cohabitation seems great on the surface, but really isn't.

[MikeInHawaii]

All the talk about “trial marriages” and the data shows people who live together before marriage have a higher divorce rate than those who don’t.

[marish01]

I am abstinent. No sex, no cohabitation for me before marriage.

My choice is final.

[ethanallen]

I have questions. First, are your requirements (abstinence, no cohabitation) religiously based. Second, have you ever been married and if so, are you divorced. Third, if you are divorced , doesn't religion forbid divorce. (no sex before marriage but breaking a marriage is ok?). It is possible you are a widow (war widow? Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?) Finally, if you have never been married, are you a 32 year old virgin? Why has no man ever appealed to you for marriage?

[marish01]

@ethanallen thanks for asking questions.
I won't answer the 1st question because I see too many people obsessed with knowing others' religous views.
I prefer to keep my views to myself.
And all the other questions to yours can be answered by one simple answer. "I am a virgin"

[marish01]

I'm a 30 year old virgin by choice

[ethanallen]

Are you looking for a billionaire? I looked at your profile picture. You seem really pretty. The virginity thing must be about finding money

[marish01]

@ethanallen lol no. I don't care about his money. If I did I would have been married now.

The issue isn't decorating, it just depends on the timing of things

[AsaKyo]

I'd like it if I had my own house before we moved in together, then if things fall out, I can just move back into my house that I had before

[JaxiCats]

My boyfriend doesn’t like the idea of me living alone and neither do I

[_Troian_]

Living seperatedly, thats cause I got my own life.. I don't want a person being around me 24/7

[Anonymous]

When I was serious about my now wife, I wanted to live together because it's the only way to integrate our lives fully.
