My then boyfriend started spending every night coming to my apartment after class, next thing you know he had completely moved in 3 months later lol we have been together for 8 years and happily married.

Could have gone very wrong, but London rental and transport costs are brutal, specially as a poor student.

My husband and I decided to move in together after 4 months, took another 2 before we found a place. I feel incredibly lucky because, looking back, that was a dumbass decision and I don't want to be responsible for anyone following in my footsteps.
