6 Topics You Must Discuss Before Moving In Together

Moving in with your partner is a huge life change whether or not you're planning to get married. It's easy to be our best selves when we can retreat to our own homes at the end of the day to escape. For that reason, it's crucial that you have rules, boundaries, and discussions before you move in together. This video shares 6 I find the most important as a therapist.

So if the chores have to be 50-50, then I assume you think the financial contribution also has to be 50-50. That is only fair.
But that arrangement never works out.
It's ok for men and women to divide responsibilities.

How much each of you give and how little each of you take for granted, will determine the success of a relationship.

You are meant to move out together so that everything is equal & it is both of yours rather than someone moves into someone else's already made-up home

1. Handling Bills, does anyone have debts, separate account for dates
2. Sleeping arrangements, morning or night person, what time to get up & go to sleep
3. Time away from each other for hobbies & socializing
4. Personal Space
5. How often to have sex
6. Household chores

Women do 87% of chores. Men pay 97% of alimony. It's almost like there's some sort of difference between men and women. 🤔

I'd love to hear more about this 50/50 chores idea when women start paying 50% of alimony. Or maybe if alimony doesn't exist.

50 50? lol Yea honey(woman) i need you to service the lawnmower and check the roof for I will dust. Chores are not equal and take different levels of experience and knowledge.
