Living Situation: Modern or Traditional?

Modern. We’ve been together 14 years (!!!) and have been living together for quite some time.

Modern. Been together almost 3 years and moved in together after 1 year. Have 2 dogs. Own a house. And split the bills. Getting married is definitely the next step so we are tying the knot in October 2019

We are definitely modern! Own a house, been together 8 years, and have a small farm of animals

We are modern all the way.... We have been together for 5 years, we have lived together for years, we talk fiancés cause we pay bills together, we don't own a pet but he keeps talking about getting one... SOOOO yeah we are modern

A mix of both. We used to live together, we don’t own a pet, we have talked finances numerous times. Many people live together, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Some say you see who the person really is, I see the downside of how it can cloud judgement.

Modern! We will have been living together for a little over four years by the time the wedding rolls around, we always discuss finances (everything is joint already), and we adopted two sweet kittens this past year ❤️

Mostly modern! Moved in when we got engaged, which was about a year into us dating. Got married after we had been together a little over two years. We've always been open with each other about finances. We don't have a pet and we don't plan on getting one in the near future.

Modern, We've been together 3 and 1/2 years and have lived together for almost a year now. We also own to dogs together. We love our fur babies!

Do you guys not live together now? If so, how has it helped your relationship or not helped?

We have been together for almost 4 years and have lived together for most of it.

Definitely modern! We moved in together after 4 months of dating!

Modern, for sure. I honestly wouldn't recommend anything but! FH and I have been together for a total of 2.5 years and will have been living together for nearly 2 of them by the time we get married. We are 100% open about our finances, split the cost of every bill, and we have a beautiful black Lab together!

This is one case were we were definitely modern. We dated for 6 months in 1985, broke up on good terms, found each other on Facebook in 2014, were friends on there until April 2017, went to dinner, he moved in a few months later, proposed 7 months later and we're getting married in October

Modern. We've dated for 6 years and lived together for 3.

View Quoted Comment Correct, we don’t live together. It’s helped our relationship out greatly, because I moved to a different city 90 minutes away, the same city where I went to university. I have several female friends here and I’m involved in various extracurricular activities. When I lived with him in the previous city, I had no life outside of him and his family would sometimes interfere in our business. The plan is for him to transfer his job and join me here later this fall. I’m excited bc we’ll have our own life but he will still be fairly close to his family In Case of emergencies, etc.

FH asked me to move in after a year of dating and I told him No, not until we were married. He was hurt and surprised I declined but understood my reasonings. I caved and moved in after he proposed and we set a date.

We have been together 7 years and lived together for 3 of those. Recently got a fish. Joint accounts on everything. We will get married on our 8th anniversary.

Modern, living together 10 years

Modern ! We bought a place together after our engagement and are living together before marriage

Definitely modern. Live together, have 2 pups and have a monthly spreadsheet we fill out with our finances. No joint bank account until it’s official though.
