What To Consider Before Getting Into A Live-In Relationship

 Live ins are no longer looked down upon. In fact living in before marriage has become more common than ever. Many of us believe that unless we live in with our partner, we can’t be sure whether we are compatible or not. Is living in with your partner the right decision for you? We help you answer that;
Since how long do you know the person?:This is a very important question that you should be asking yourself before you decide to settle down with someone. Living day and night and sharing the same roof with a stranger is highly risky. Hence make sure that you are very much certain about the person’s background.
 Have you chosen a safe place?:Choose a place that even you are comfortable with. Avoid choosing a place that is in a remote area.It is not about trust here, it is just better to be safe than sorry.
 Will you divide expenses?: Whatsoever the case, do not put the whole load of expenses on one person. See that you share all expenses no matter what. This way your partner will respect you, even if tomorrow your relationship doesn’t work. It is very important to play fair, if you are in for a long term commitment.
 Do you understand each other’s level of commitment?: See that the two of you have a healthy talk about other’s plans for the future. Don’t simply be blinded by love. Think with both your heart and head so that you take a decision that you can be proud of, in future.
 Will you be able to adjust?Nobody is perfect. Not even you. Certain flaws of your partner may come into the limelight only after you stay with them. This however doesn’t mean that you have to fight with them for hiding them from you. Adjustment is the key to a successful relationship. This doesn’t mean that you have to crush all your happiness for the sake of your partner, either. However sometimes making small adjustments will certainly not hurt anyone, right?

At the end of the day even if it doesn’t work for you, part ways peacefully and fairly.Respect the time that the two of you have shared together.
