Need advice...

[shrillian]

... been thinking about the whole moving out thing. I've been talking to people and have had people whispering concerns in my ear. For those who have done so, I pose this:

Is it wise to move out with a friend?

i don't think it's a bad idea as long as you really feel like you can live together. i guess the main thing is, if you do it and you sense it going south, get out quick before it ruins the friendship. but i've spent many happy times living with friends.

yes.. that's what I've been told - that it's easy enough to move out if things don't seem to be working out. Hmmm... food for thought.

I'll definitely go ahead with it, but just need to make sure things are good. Moving out alone would be ideal... but not abel to afford that... possibly... hmmm... but more so that I would go insane living alone - I'm too sociable.

I think it's just nervous jitters.

i share your sentiments hun, i couldn't live alone, i'm too sociable too. since i know the person in question i think you'll be alright. you definitely have to set a lot of ground rules though. and not let money get in the way (like one or the other not paying rent, borrowing from each other, etc etc).

i haven't lived with that many friends (only 5) but even if you're really good friends with someone, doesn't necessarily mean you'll be really good housemates. it could have potentially damaged our friendship.

personally i think a 3 person household dynamic is the best. enough people to escape to if one of them pisses u off, and not so many that it's like a frickin hostel.

but like i said make sure you set the rules before u move in with him, and talk about it before you even start looking at places. hope that helped...MWAH
