I haven't started looking yet but besides my family there's nothing to keep me where I am. I think it'd be exciting to move somewhere new. I'm just scared for what it would mean for our relationship. We want to try and see if we're compatible living together. It is a big step to me almost like marriage, but of course it isn't. But at the same time I can't help but remember the saying that goes "Don't buy the cow if you can get the milk for free", and then I wonder if I'd be doing the right thing.

Furthermore, there are various legal implications if the two of you invest in a great deal and then decide to end the relationship. If you do decide to live together, do be sure to cover yourself as best you can in the event things do not work out. Many things should be considered when signing a lease, etc.

Living together should only happen in a marriage where you can feel the security , the love and the family atmosphere.
Some couples may want to try out if they are compatible with each other before tying the string but there is a tendency that they may prolong their staying together without any change in their conditions for years .
