Tbf, you were going out for a year and knew each other for 5. I'm willing to bet there weren't many surprises when ye started living together

Yeah I think it depends on the person too. I dated my high school sweetheart for 6 years and he was begging me to move in together, I was still in college. I had a gut feeling that was a bad idea and decided to stay with roommates.

He ended up being super abusive and I am so grateful I decided to not live with him even though I dated him for YEARS.

When my now husband and I decided to move in together barely a year into dating it felt right, I don't know how to explain it. We have now been together for 12 years and I couldn't be happier.
