You and your partner have decided to move in together. Here are some steps to prevent war from breaking out in your living room.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Communication skills
A chore list
Personal space
Flexibility

Step 1: Be sure

Make sure you're moving in together for the right reasons. Moving in to fix your relationship problems may make those problems worse.

Step 2: Make it home

Make your new place feel like home. With a positive attitude and willingness to compromise, work with your partner to organize and decorate each room.

Tip: Get rid of duplicate items, keeping the better of the two collections.

Step 3: Define normal

Define what you consider normal behavior in a household. Find a happy medium with your partner, and respect their quirks and habits.

Step 4: Divide chores

Divide chores and create a chore list. Make sure you both feel the list is divided equally.

Tip: Specify when chores are to be completed. People have different expectations about how often the laundry should be done or the bathroom cleaned.

Step 5: Assign responsibilities

Choose responsibilities ahead of time. Make clear what you expect from each other before you move.

Step 6: Set aside time away from each other. By giving each other space, you'll appreciate your time together even more.

Step 7: Be flexible and listen to each other's needs. Work together to make both parties happy, and moving in will be a lot easier.

Step 8: Be alone

Set aside time away from each other. By giving each other space, you'll appreciate your time together even more.

Step 9: Be flexible

Be flexible and listen to each other's needs. Work together to make both parties happy, and moving in will be a lot easier.

I swear if that guy was my boyfriend i would be like 'stop acting a stupid lilttle bitch and throw away some of your shit'

[punktheman]

I don't think getting rid of animals is a good idea. Why would you move in with an animal lover if you don't love em, or vice-versa?

Flexibility huh? I am good at doing hick kicks, does that help?
