How many partners have you lived with?

daisiegg

Following on from the thread about how quickly couples move in together...

Someone on that thread said something about not wanting to move in too quickly because of not liking the idea of having lived with a string of people, if relationships do not last.

I am one of the people who moved in with my partner very quickly, but now he is my husband and is the only man I have lived with (aside from living in the same shared house as a boyfriend at university, but we did not share a room).

So, if you move in together very quickly, does it lead to having lived with lots of people? Do you mind that or does it not matter at all? Or did you move in together quickly because you knew the relationship would be a serious one, and therefore have not had lots of 'living togethers'?

No judgement either way from me, just interested

Two; the first was my boyfriend at uni and he was due to move out of his house- my parents suggested he move in with me :eek: which was not a good idea but I was too young or shy to reject the idea. If only they'd said it to me and not to both of us we may have avoided a messy breakup.

I moved in with OH after 7 weeks; he'd been asking since 2 weeks into our relationship. It's been almost 12 years now, two children and still very happy .

I moved OH in after 4 months, first boyfriend I've ever lived with - we're still together after 4 years and I hope it stays that way!

Two.

First one, he moved into mine after 3 months. Eventually married, and divorced.

Second one (current husband) who moved in after 18 months.

2. Lived with my ex husband for a couple of weeks (v short marriage) and I've lived with my OH for a couple of years. Lived on my own for about 10 yrs in between and loved it. If this doesn't work out I don't think I'll bother again!!

Seems I'm the rebel here - we got married THEN began living together.

So only lived with one guy.

As I said on the other thread, OH moved in with me after five months and we moved to a bigger place together four months after that. We have been together for four and a half years now.

He is the first partner I've lived with, and before him I loved my single life and never imagined living with a partner. If we broke up I don't think I could easily live with another person, I still miss my own space as much as I love OH.

None. I'd be really reluctant to move in with anybody, platonic or romantic. I like my own space.
