How long before moving in together in your 40s

Moving in together may sound romantic, but reality can set in quite quickly, especially if you may have trust issues or have very different expectations.

Whether you’re renting or buying, you’ll need to be honest about your finances and spending habits with your partner.

Decide on a budget and how you’re splitting the bills every month. Will you take charge of paying the bills, or will they?

Red flags before moving in together

You should also consider each other's lifestyles when moving in together. If your partner loves being sociable but you’re a homebody, you should talk about compromises on both sides. Give yourself enough time to evaluate your compatibility before putting your future plans in place.

Spending quality time together, rather than being like ships in the night, is important for all relationships to grow. Sharing a living space doesn’t equate to spending quality time together, so you’ll still have to make an effort to foster moments of intimacy with one another to avoid falling into a relationship rut.
