Relationships are fun. Spending time with someone who cares not only makes us feel alive but also keeps us focused with a disguised boost of positivity to sustain us through the setbacks in life. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that half the people are horrible at relationships and freak out as soon as things start to take shape.
Moving in is a big step towards a future where you both see each other, together. This is a problem especially for people in their thirties who never bothered for anything besides casual relationships. In case you’re feeling your partner is your lobster, here are 6 telltale signs that signify you are ready to move in with your partner:
1. You Respect Each Other’s Privacy And Personal Space:
Respecting each other’s privacy in a relationship is of utmost importance. Constantly spying on your partner’s social media accounts won’t bring any good into the relationship. Moving in together requires a lot of commitment from both ends, and issues relating to one’s personal space are bound to make things worse eventually.
If you get upset very easily with your partner engaging in whatever they love to do in their spare time, you’re not ready to move in. Expecting someone to invest their time completely into you is unfair to them and takes away the sense of freedom in the relationship.
2. You Bounce Back To Normal After A Fight:
Fighting is a part and parcel of a healthy relationship, or at least, a real relationship (if that was the word you were looking for).
Couples are known to fight over petty issues and then make lame excuses supporting their behavior. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that the ability to reason perfectly after a fight should never be lost in a relationship.
If you keep on ranting about the things you feel, you are not ready to move in together. The ability to listen and the commitment to fix things and bounce back to normal is very much necessary.
3. You’re Comfortable With Each Other’s Schedule:
Work schedules can prove to be a nuisance when it comes to couples living together. If your partner works in evening shifts and you work during the day, you guys can’t spend much time together. Plus, the fact that they leave as soon as you come back home will only make you feel cursed. Solitude changes a person, and in worst cases might even make you feel that the relationship won’t last long.
4. You Don’t Get Annoyed By Their Bad Habits:
Old habits die hard. Understand the etiquette rules of handling the dark side of your partner before you even think of moving in with them. Everybody has flaws, and the fact that you’re willing to give them the chance to fix them will make a lot of difference. If you love them, you’ve got to remember their goodness on their bad days.
5. You Feel The Connection:
We totally agree that some things are better left unsaid and there is seldom anything stupider than stating the obvious. If you feel a strong connection with your partner and have no issues with the things mentioned above, you’re almost ready to move in. Having chemistry with your partner spices up the relationship and makes you feel alive ensuring that things remain interesting. Nothing better you could ask for indeed!
6. You Both Are Financially Stable:
There’s nothing worse than being a burden on someone financially. If you and your partner have everything perfect together yet struggling to make ends meet, we suggest you not to move in together. Financial stability matters a lot when it comes to couples living together. If you want a future together, you need to make sure that you both get a full-time job to support your future endeavors.
Although these signs are enough to let your heart know what it needs, we still advise you to wait for their consent before you make a move. Try getting an idea of what they feel about moving in before you actually ask them. If they’re not at the place that you have dwelled upon, trust me, this will save you a lot of embarrassment. We hope the best for you!
