Moving in together
Since no one's really chatting over here, I thought I'd throw out something to discuss:
If you and your FI didn't cohabitate before you were engaged/married, what's been the hardest part about moving in together?
We had already moved a lot of H's things into my (now our) house when we got engaged - like all his kitchen stuff, but now we're trying to figure everything else out (plus where to put all the new kitchen stuff!). Last week was our first week back from the HM and we started with trying to figure out the master bedroom closet situation. I think we've figured it out...but the bedroom still looks like the closet threw up clothes all over the floor.
Re: Moving in together
We only moved in together two months before the wedding, when my lease was up. It was quite the adjustment. Our place is smaller than we'll want for somewhere longterm, and making it feel like "us" took work. We also have gifts just sitting in boxes. We won't be able to use some if them until we get a larger place.
Going through all of our things was essential. We donated a lot of stuff, and it helped clear space and empty out closets, etc to be refilled with both of our things. We had to learn how not to be on top of one another, too, since this is really a one-person place.
GL!
We have been living together for over 5 1/2 years now? and I remember when we moved in together nothing really changed. I remember this distinctly because everyone always said that moving and/or getting married is such an adjustment and it can be really hard at times. I just remember thinking what the heck was everyone talking about?
Maybe it's more difficult when you get married and move in at about the same time. Adjusting from the mentality of mine to ours might be tougher in that situation. It's something I'm working on because it's no longer mine it's ours. That really hits me when H talks about selling his classic car because it doesn't run and his mom encourages him. I don't want him to sell it because our relationship started in it, it's awesome, we both talk about fixing up a car together as a project and my dad always tells him how much he regrets selling his and wished he still had it. I jokingly say but it's half mine!
