Living Together Doesn't Just Mean Living Together

Thursday, April 15, 2010 , Posted by Sandra Chat at 1:10 PM


Whether you're newly weds, roommates or best friends, " Living together doesn't just mean living together". There are rules and responsibilities to abide by or should at least be discussed prior to moving in.  Occasionally, circumstances may arise in which a person may feel as though they don't have much of a choice but to move in with someone but as an adult, the decision is typically by choice. Living together can be a great thing as long as both parties are aware of what's required of them. 

I'm well familiar of several instances in which marriages and friendships break up after individuals decide to move in together. The idea always seems like a great one in the beginning but eventually, ones true colors will come out. Before you decide to make that step, take some time to really talk it through. I listed a few things below to get you started. Hopefully, you'll find my list to be helpful. Feel free to share other important factors that didn't make my top ten list.


1. Finances (Who will manage the bills?)
2. Cleanliness (How will the chores be divided?)
3. Respect for each other's property (I.e clothes, food, etc.)
4. Privacy
5. Time sensitivity (One may be a morning person and the other is a night person.)
6. Arguments/Disagreements (How do you deal with confrontation?)
7. Visitors/Friends
8. Curfew (Should there be one?)
9. Transportation/Parking
10. Children
