Relationship Guide
Loving and Living Together
Wedding bells can’t ring for gay men, but adding keys to the key ring adds a certain chime. Moving in together is a big step, even if your relationship is going strong. You know you love each other and you want the relationship to last, which is why it’s important to know if you live compatible lives. Asking yourself the following question will help you determine if your future live-in is truly your perfect partner.
1. Does he like to be as clean, or as messy as you?
2. How do both of you like to spend your evenings after work, a nice book or a dinner party?
3. Do you share the same desire for children or even pets?
4. Do you share the same expectations or attitudes on a sex life?
5. Do either of you have daily routines that the other is unaware of?
6. How do both of you handle day to day stress?
7. Do you both feel the same way about physical health issues, such as eating and exercising?
8. Do either of you have vices that would irritate the other, such as drinking, smoking, drug use?
9. How do both of you social with friends, at home for nice evenings or out socializing at bars?
10. Do you trust each other enough to still maintain individuality within the relationship?
Asking these questions will help you and your partner feel much more prepared as you enter into the new stage of your relationship together. Don’t ask these questions in the hopes to change your partner, but to bring up discussions on lifestyle differences that may be points of contention later on. Communication is always key to a successful relationship, and discussing the items above can help you determine if moving in together will help or hurt the relationship.
