ontariomanKawartha lakes, Canada13 Threads 561 PostsOver the years, ever find yourself in a "spot", where you really like a person, almost feeling love for that person, but a situation arises where you both have the opportunity to live with each other. How soon is too soon to live with your mate?

Sometime after your married...
and you no longer want to continue with the
non-cohabitating marriage...
then you rent out one (or both) properties and move in together somewhere...
But only if you're sure the marriage can survive co-habitation.
Other than that, don't live with anyone other than pets or family,
and you've already 'grown up and left your family'...!

Unless you or her worry about what the general population around you think, then ask them whats the appropiate time. As for me, soon as both parties agree it would be fun or an improvment to current situation.

post note neither should give up their current living quarters, thus the term "shack-up".

Well definatly not within the first weeks lol I had a friend who moved in with a guy and they had been together only for like 4 weeks. Didn't last long between them two let me tell you.
I would have to say at least over 6 months and it would be important to get to know eachother quite a lot as well.
It all depends on the people involved I guess.

Time to shack up can arise as soon as both of you have farted in front of each other - then you've got nothing left to hide !!!!
My grandmother, who is 82, always advised the girls of the family to live with a man before marrying him - Good advice !!

My sweetie and I had just started dating while he had an unfortunate incident happen at his living situation: he was temporarily staying in the home of a very ex girlfriend who offered him an arrangement of finishing off a bedroom, in exchange for rent. I KNEW she still had designs on him, even though she wasn't showing any obvious signs of wanting to try again, and even though he had made it extremely clear to her that this was just a friendly arrangement. He hadn't told her we were dating, because she was attending church with him (and me) most Sundays, as was my not yet ex, whom I didn't want to get wind of this dating thing till the divorce papers were filed.
Anyway, when she figured out we were dating she kicked him out right away, so I let him stay at my place "for about a week", till he could find his own place to rent.
Well, by the time he found his place...
So while he's wasting $1000 a month on rent until he can break his lease or it runs out (next summer -
) we've basically been living together since about a week after we started dating, but that was months after we met and had become very good friends.

Sounds like a great "undercover" experience....

Well i don't see this necessarily as "shacking up" because as you said...you're still at the stage where you like each other but not sure yet about the love part...
To me its the same as the "getting to know each other", but with the twist of actually having to live with that person day in day out...
Something started this way - two close friends living together - can go either way...you could love the company and it could be a lifetime thing....or you could hate their habits and the friendship is over...
I guess it depends on what chances you are willing to take...
