Moving in together

Well we are taking the big leap! Boyfriend decided that he wants to move in, and Hubby and I are both over the moon about it :D there will need to be some rules I'm sure, but I'm not realy sure what yet. I think the hardest thing might end up being the refrigerator lol! But that happens. And I know we will manage that one ;)

The late spring cleaning of clearing out my entire basement is well underway, and I honestly think that if I have another couple of days with some real help we can make it ready for human inhabitants and not just storage of junk ;) thankfully I have a bit more time. And I am excited about getting sooo much junk out of my house! And thrilled that my boyfriend is going to be around every day. (I'm a big time mother hen type worrier so this will help a lot with that!)

So tips or advice is more than welcome! Also if anyone knows a way to bribe my trash pickup to actually haul away all the shit I have at my curb I would LOVE to hear it!
 
Try to make sure everyone has a spot in the house that they can retreat to and shut the door, that this location is their own private space. It's worked well for us. We all have our own bedrooms, and our own area of the house staked out and stamped as ours - my husband has an office, I have a desk/corner of the game room, and my boyfriend has a corner of the basement with his paint desk.

We had to clean a lot of junk too, before my boyfriend could move in. It's motivating, isn't it?! :) Course, now all of his junk is here now! :)
 
Bluebird, I like that idea. Wife and I definitely talked about moving my gf in with us. We decided to wait till we can get a bigger place so we all can have our space.
 
I agree with the policy of allowing for private spaces, perhaps even a bed-bath suite or two.
 
I agree with the having your own space thing lol though with the current set up I just waffle between beds and if I need space I leave the house. I have a feeling it's going to stay that way and I'm ok with that. But there are plenty of other rooms I could occupy etc.

This is important even in mono relationships. How many relationships ended because two people lived in tiny apartments and were up each others asses all the time?
 
I think it's especially true if you have one or more introverts in the equation.

True Wifey can definitely be an introvert and we all need alone space, so that's the biggest concern Wife and I have for moving Wifey in with us. We prefer to wait till we can afford a house big enough so we all have a space.
 
Well the space situation for us works at the moment, eventually I would like to get a bigger place, but it isn't exactly a sellers market for houses at the moment. But considering there is also a full basement and multiple rooms that aren't bedrooms I'm not too concerned about it. Plus while boyfriend can be a bit of an introvert that mostly involves his computer, and if I really need to get away I will lock myself in the bathroom with a book and a fab candle. And since there is another bathroom in the house I'm not to worried about it. We do all have plenty of space. Just not quite enough separate bedrooms for everyone to have there own (I switch between my two guys rooms).
