• Don’t stop dating once you move in. They shouldn’t stop either. Plan nights out, random gifts, and movie nights together. You’re not roommates, you’re partners.

    This one might be controversial, but if you have ex’s “you’re still friends with” no you’re not. Early in the relationship people will say, “Oh, that’s cool. I don’t mind.” Because you’re in the honeymoon phase, but it’s just all around awkward for everyone.

      Sorry, that’s just bullshit. I have been married for many years and am on friendly terms with 90% of my ex girlfriends. My wife was sceptical at first (which I get), but now she is friends with several of my ex girlfriends. Others, not so much, but not because they are my exes, but simply because they’re not compatible.
