Y'all, I could use some impartial advice.

The boyfriend suggested getting a one-bedroom together next year. We'll both be 22 and have been together a little over a year and a half.

Good idea? Or bad? My biggest thing has been what if we end up not wanting to be together -- while I don't anticipate things getting ugly, judging from the conflict resolution I've seen in the last 6 months, it'd still be rough.

Living together magnifies the good things and the bad things about the relationship...so if you see small problems now, they could turn into large ones after a while. It's a good way to figure out whether you actually should be with each other, but it could be a hell of a painful way to find out.

I basically lived with my girlfriend for most of last summer do to a few issues at my summer sublet (there was a huge infestation problem and i needed to get my stuff the hell out of there), and it ended up working out well, our relationship turned out better in the end than it had been before the situation

However, I know that in 9 times out of 10 at our age (I'm 21), those situations blow up in people's faces.
