You and your significant other finally decided to move in together. You’ve made such a big move in your relationship. Moving together means an exciting time to become closer and align your lives even more so than they already were. There are so many benefits to these, but there are also difficulties. The most immediate would be the process of moving in.
Take a Look at Both Yours and Your S.O.’s Belongings
When moving in together, there are plenty of things to sort out. You will most likely find things that duplicate when you move in, like two coffee tables, two sets of kitchen utensils, etc. You will also find things you don’t want anymore. You will also probably ditch the oversized items like sofas and dressers if it doesn’t fit in your new place. Sort out your items for all these things.
Where to Move – Yours, Theirs or to a New Place?
Where do you plan to move in? Will you move into your place or your partners’ or find a new place? When deciding, there are several factors, such as the commutes, neighbourhood amenities, pet accommodations, safety, and more. If either of your places does not make it, start getting a short list of the locations you can begin searching.
Decide Which of Your Things to Keep, Donate, or Toss
You’ve looked at all your belongings, and now, it’s time to decide which items to keep, donate, and toss. Remember that everything you own can add to the cost of your move. If your space is limited, you have to keep it in mind when sorting your possessions. Get rid of the big and duplicate furniture by selling or donating. Just keep the things you need.
Money Matters
One of the beautiful and eye-opening aspects of living together is that you become more involved in each other’s financial lives. You will now share household responsibilities, like the basic necessities. You may feel somewhat awkward thinking you’ve lost privacy and control over your finances.
This might result in a conflict in your relationship. But just like any other aspect of a relationship, the key is communication. To avoid this, you must discuss it as soon as possible. Addressing your fears and worries about your finances as quickly as possible would be best. Mainly, discuss your share of the expenses and financial obligations.
