should we move in?

[ackmedsgirl666]

me and my boyfriend have been talking about moving in together for a while now and the opportunity has finally come. my moms currently helping me save for a place and ill be moving out on my own in the big city of toronto probably in september. anyways i really think this is a big step. he of course wont be paying rent because he doesnt work yet but theres more job opportunities here. im kind of scared though. we fight like most couples do but sometimes it gets pretty heated. we always end up making up but living together might be more challenging. should me and my boyfriend atleast try it and see how things go. we want to start the next chapter in our life and this might be the best way. but heres more detail before u help me decide.
hes 17 and im 19
im on disabillity so i get money and he doesnt
hes addicted to video games/weed/ and drinking
i guess the fact that he doesnt have money kinda bothers me but a relationship isnt all about money.. hes a great guy and weve been good friend for 12 years now since the 2nd/3rd grade. and like i said i wanna try this big step. so is this a good idea.... or will it cause bigger problems??
hes currently living at home with his rents and and were dating long distance and wanna see more of eachother???
feedback ppls???

Moving in with someone can be a big step. Imagine having to be around them 24/7, with no safe haven of your own when things get bad. There's less privacy, there's less room for you to go, and there's definitely going to be more arguments. In the end, it comes down to a factor of if you really think you can handle being around him that much. Also, can you both afford it? Is it worth the money to not be living at home (unless living at home isn't an option for you and him)?

I'd advise against it, most times it can end up being a bad decision. However, it's still your decision and yours alone. Just make the right choice for the both of you.

hi there. and it would be me paying for it for a while until he finds a job. home isnt an option either as i dont live with my rents(just my mom) and 4 bodies would be too much for a small 2 bedroom apt and me and my bf would want our privacy. im thinking this may be a good thing for us. as for space well theres plenty to do in my area so if things get heated i can always go to visit my mom or go the the library or something... but like i said when things get heated and we get mad it doesnt tend to last long.. were usually back into eachothers arms within the hour or less following our fights. the main reasons we have fought so much in the past is because of my ex getting involved and now its because we never see eachother.. and either way even when we do live together we will barely see eachother as ill be in school full time finishing up f0r grad and potentially working and eventually he will probably be doing the same.
thanks for your input!!
