Just bring it up, but not in a like "Lets sit down and discuss our future" type way. Keep it casual, mention the fun you're having and the financial benefit, and see how he feels. Ask him if he feels his personal space would be impeded on, and go from there.

You should just tell him. This is someone who supposedly loves you and wants to live with you and whom you should feel comfortable living with and talking to. If you don't feel comfortable talking to him about something as simple as this, are you sure you're ready to live with him full-term?

Well, not saying something never accomplished anything. Tell him how you feel, as he may feel the same.

I would definitely say to bring it up. If he isn't ready to move in together and this temporary living arrangement wasn't ideal to him you might want to take that as a hint. He might just not be ready for commitment, but saying nothing never solved a thing in this world.

Talk to him. Bringing something like that up isn't out of line at all in this situation.

are u financially stable now???don't grow a dependency on him...make sure that if it doesn't work out you have the resources to move out..but bring it up casually since the financial benefit was for you not him.

don't just move out without saying anything. if you know he feels the same, just stay and keep on doing whatever you do.

Just talk about it with him. Maybe he's feeling the same way, but you'll never find out if you don't express yourself.

I'm with MandyJoBo. If you can't talk to him about these things, how can you live together? Conflicts are going to come up when you are with someone that often.

I get annoyed with questions like these. If you are in a relationship where you want to make a life together - then why are you afraid to talk to him about this?

Sorry, but what did you think us Sugars would say? Break up with him and move across state? Clearly you should speak with him!

I don't mean to sound harsh.. but geeeez!
Good luck!

I think that it all depends on how long you've been in this "temporary" situation, and how long you have been together. If you have been together for a long time, & this temporary situation has been lasting a while then I think you should talk to him about how you feel. But if you've been dating for 6 months or less, and have been living together for a few weeks I think you should think long & hard before suggesting that this become a permanent situation.

There is a HUGE difference between dating someone & living with someone. And if this temporary situation has been relatively quick, you both are probably in a honeymoon stage where there seem to be no problems. Once it becomes permanent problems will most likely come out of the woodwork.

Overall you definitely need to talk with your guy. If your financial situation is resolved, maybe you could contribute towards his current rent or living expenses which would make this situation better financially for the both of you. But be prepared that he might not be ready for that type of commitment, & if he is not you'll have to accept that. Don't rush into something that you aren't ready for.

I'm kind of in a same situation. I've been dating my boyfriend for just under a year now, and when the school year started (we're undergrads in college) we both moved into separate apartments in the same complex (by chance rather than having planned it that way). I actually moved into my place in the middle of August and I like my roommates and the place, but once he moved in in the middle of September before school, I started spending more and more time with him to the point where at some weeks I don't even go back to my own place at all. I mean, I moved my beta fish to his apartment to make sure it would be fed.

We're both really busy people - I have two jobs and a research project on top of being a full time student, so a lot of days are 8am - 9pm on campus and his schedule is comparable, but I really like his place. His roommate is pretty chill with it, and it's definitely easier to study at his place than at mine (many more people, and you know we girls love to chat) but it's gotten to the point that all of my beauty and skincare products and hairdryer are on one side of his bathroom counter and I only have a spare toothbrush in the bathroom I share with my roommate.

He's mentioned me moving in with him a couple times in the past, but we weren't sure we could make it work (logistically) and I was afraid of what would happen if we broke up... and what living together would actually be like... but we seem to have managed quite well for three months so at the beginning of this quarter he offered again. I mean, it would change very little other than that I would have to find someone to replace me in my apartment and they'd charge me a bit less than I'm paying now (which is actually a great deal because I'd be going from 5 people sharing an apartment to 3)... I'm just still having the hangups I was having to begin with - in addition to wondering how my parents would feel about it.

So... I'm still thinking about it. I think moving in with someone is definitely a huge jump and you'll definitely want to talk to him about it... especially, I think it's really important that if you do move in with him to try and figure out a way that would allow you to have some sort of legal standing so that he couldn't kick you out in the event that things went sour between you two - I'd like to think that no person you love would ever do that - but no matter how much you think your boyfriend loves you, it's really best to be safe than sorry and it's happened to other people before. Be tactful about it, and stress that it's just for your own piece of mind (which it is).

Good luck!

Hah! Been there! Moved in with my bf of about a year because my bff and I were having problems finding a place we could afford. So, we said it would be temporary for me to save some cash. I never had a roomate I loved more than him, we just really worked on that day-to-day level. Well, 3 months later I had the cash, BFF and I found a place and I moved out. The boy and I ended up breaking up about a month later.

TURNS OUT... we got back together 6 months after that and the very first thing he told me on our 'reunion date' was that he never wanted me to move out in the first place, he just didn't know how to tell me because I seemed so independant. I didn't want to go either, but didn't want to impose on his kindness OR his life! We've been roomies ever since, and it's amazing...

Moral of the story? TALK TO HIM! Good luck!
