My now wife movies in with me pretty quickly, maybe like 8 months after we started dating.
We spent a lot of time together as it was, but Covid came and her sister was doing her residency.
I was happy to have her move in as it would limit our exposure and we could still see each other.
Shortly after that, she moved in with her parents to look after them for a few months and we just did a long distance thing as the city went on lockdown and they lived outside the city.
After about 6 months she moved in. We ended up getting married like 2 years or so later.
We have have been married for a year this October and things are great. I love living with my wife and I always have.
Of course there were times that were hard as we adapted to so emotional each others habits and stuff. One example, is that I’m a super light sleeper so she had to adapt to be extra quiet while I’m sleeping.
She grew up and lived next to an airport most of her life, so her entire family are heavy sleepers.
