I thank everyone for just great responses! Keep them coming! There are many sides to this "topic" and some of the responses have made me think of things that I hadn't thought of!
Okay, Im graduating in december and I am planning on buying a townhouse in january, in MY NAME ONLY(on the mortage)!! I am making sure that I can afford everything on my own, so god forbid something happends to us, money won't be an issue. I am an only child and have lived at home the whole time while in college. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 7 months. We would both like to live together, for me one of the reasons is I don't think I could live alone. I am a very social person and I don't like being by myself, at all.. and plus he is my very best friend. I can confide in him about anything, he is just a wonderful man(and areally great cook!). Its like we bascially live together now, Im over there when I get off work or from class, we have dinner together, relax with each other, and then I don't leave until about midnight and we do just about everything together. I have never found a person that I am so compatable with, my best female friends. He is also 5 years older than I am and has never lived with a girlfriend before.
I know that we have sometime before all this takes place, but I wanted to see what everyone else thought or how it affect your relationship.
Oh yeah, by the way, I don't think this is going to sit very well with my hard core catholic family!
Greek Love,
Nicole
