4 Reasons Why Moving In Together Can Kill Your Relationship
Moving in to stay with your girlfriend or boyfriend is a big step. It gives the mark of commitment to your relationship. It’s a big decision and people think twice before doing so, which they should. If not thoughtfully and carefully taken, this decision can wound your heart in a way that could take a long while to heal. Here’s why moving in together can be a dicey thing and may even kill your relationship.
1. Privacy Loss
When you decide to move in and stay together with your partner, the most important thing that you lose is your privacy. There is nothing like personal space left. You’ll be with each other all the time. You will be heard and watched by him most of the time. Your personal calls to your folks, friends, etc. will no longer be personal. He might start asking you details about everything you do.
2. Seeing Each other too often
Moving in with your partner might lead to a situation where you practically see him all day and night and no one else. You might be into each other’s face, which will lead to petty fights. Also, what may happen is that his importance in your life may diminish and vice versa. You could start taking each other for granted.
3. Expectations Increase
Another problem that could arise, is his rise in expectations from you. Gradually, you might find yourself taking care of the house, groceries, dishes, dusting, laundry, etc. His contribution to these daily chores will be minimal as compared to yours. You may continue doing it out of love hoping that one day it will change.
4. Change in Priorities
If before moving in with your guy, your topmost priority was your career, it might just change once you move in. The guy will always want you to consider his work more important. You might give up on your hobbies and other likes only because you moved in with the guy. What had to be a cozy weekend with him, will turn into a games night.
So unless and until you are completely sure about the guy, do not put at stake your freedom and life for him.
