Poll of the day

Just to get some more posts on our new board!

Did you live with your DH before you were married? and for comments- if you had it to do over, would you have done it the same way?

Yes we actually owned our home before we even got engaged. If I had to do it all over again I would do it the exact same way

We did. At first I was very against it, but it made the married life transition a piece of cake. Once we were married I knew how good it could be and how bad it could be (living together). If I had to do it over again, I would do it the same way.

Re: Poll of the day

we didnt live together but spent every weekend together- it was NOT the same thing.

we didnt have a choice really, because I was caring for my grandmother up until we got married (now she has a live-in nurse)- but I wish we could have lived together first- I think it would have avoided a lot of stress that we have been going through

Re: Poll of the day

We did not. I'm glad we didn't bc now everything is so exciting and so new, I am loving being a newlywed.

A lot of people tried ti scare me saying "oh wow I would never not live with someone before I married them" but DH and I dated for a long time and spent a lot of time together. We knew that we knew eachother well enough that living together wouldnt be like this big crazy hard change, and it wasn't we love it! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Yes, we lived together for one year before being married.

I would NOT change it, and I would never have married him before living together. The transition was hard and we were at eachother's throats for the first 4-5 months or so. Getting married was easy-peasy because nothing changed!

Yes, but only for 2.5 months before our wedding. I was unemployed for 2 of those months so I was able to lay down the law a lot easier since I was homeChat Icon

Re: Poll of the day

We lived together for over 3 years before we got married. I never wanted to live with someone before I got married to them, but because of financial reasons it just made sense. Plus in the years that we lived with each other we moved 4 times to three different states. And in those moves it is not as though it would make sense to keep finding new roommates and our own apartments.

I wish we could have moved in together after we were married, but we got a lot of the challenges out of the way first, so I guess that is good.

Yes, we lived together 4 years before we married. I personally could not go into a commitment that huge unless I knew 100% what I was getting myself into

We lived together for about 4 years before getting married. It worked out well for us but I can see how living together for the first time after being married would be so exciting!

Re: Poll of the day

We moved in together, got engaged, bought a house, then got married... lol. But it worked for us, and if I had to do it again I'd do the same thing.

Re: Poll of the day

No we didnt. I'm glad but there was definitely a difficult transition- more for him than me. We've moved 3 x this year but I think we're finally settled in our apt now and everythings been pretty cool Chat Icon

Re: Poll of the day

We lived together out of state for 9 months then when we moved back to NY when moved back in with our parents. Eventually we got an apartment and lived together again before the wedding. It's an experience I would never change for the world bc I knew that I could live with him and he didn't drive me crazy.

Re: Poll of the day

No we didn't. I wouldn't change it. The transition wasn't easy but I knew he was the one and would have married him anyway. Besides, I liked feeling like there was something new and different about our relationship (even though I know it is new whether you live together or not). I guess I just liked being traditional about it.
