So we moved in Thursday and are still unpacking. It is sort of a disaster zone in fact. I’m def. happy to be living with my girlfriend, but we have lots of work to do getting settled! We have two of everything and so much “stuff.” It can be a little hard to part with things, but it has to happen. C. used Craigslist to sell her childhood dresser, which she’s had since age 10!
Just be careful that neither of you forces the other to part with stuff you really really care about. Just because you’re together doesn’t mean you’re going to have to give up everything that makes you who you are. Compromises are integral to a relationship, but someone may have an attachment to something, and it’s not fair to ask them to change – you can, however, ask them to store it at a friend’s or with parents. Just be fair and enjoy the fact that you’re together!!!!!!!!!!
