Got married at 23.... Moved in together at 24. Yeah kind of different I suppose. He's military and it just wasn't ideal with him based so far away then in Afghanistan for the first part of our marriage. Worked for us though Smile

I was 16, moved in 1 month after we had been together and he is the only person I have ever slept with. We have been together 17 years this year and I honestly could not see my life without him lol

Asking people is fine OP but really it's your life x Do what is right for both of you and you feel happy with x Life is never gauranteed and you only get out of it what you put in x

Good luck with what you decide xx

I was 19 when I moved in with my then DP. It was lovely and we lasted a good six years, and I had a lovely time, but I did miss out on Uni things and in hindsight (I'm 25 now) I do wish we had waited. I would think the same even if we were still together. You don't get that time again and waiting two years to move in together isn't a big deal - think of the money you'll save!

If you wanted, you could agree to set up a joint account and pay in a monthly amount that resembles monthly rent for your area. By the time you graduate, you'll have a nice deposit saved for a house or a nice wedding fund Grin honestly, that's what I would do if I had my time again.

Both at the same time, I was 20. :)

Moved in at 16 (got kicked out by my parents for not ending friendship with gay friend Hmm) but as close friends and because of his parents helping. Moved out at 18 for uni, lost contact, so we met again at 23. Relationship with dates started at 25 after a normal close friendship due to our history....moved in at 28, got married 14mnth later, aged 29.

DH (then DP) moved in with me when we were both 23. I then moved to the UK with him about 6 months later.

Got engaged at 24, married at 26 and had first child at 30.

It'll be the seven year itch for us this year Grin
