Move in with a bf after 8 months

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 8 months now. We are moving into a really nice place in a week. I was just wondering if 8 months is too soon to move in with a boyfriend.

    Pshh, totally normal. I mean, that's longer then most relationships in Hollywood last. She normally last about a month. So yes, it's normal.

    There is no calculated time into a relationship where it's ok to live together as it's deifferent for everyone. The right time is if you have seen him in all states, by that i mean you've seen what he's like angry, you've seen what he's like drunk, you've seen him stressed out etc. just so you're not in for any surprises. Also try spending a week together (if you haven't allready done so) because people have alot of at-home habbits you might not notice but end will bother you once you're living together. Good luck too both of you :)

    I moved in with my boyfriend after only 5 months, buth then again we went out West. My brother moved in with his girlfriend after 1 month, but I suppose it's because she got pregnant. So to answer your question, there's no "certain" time that you have to wait until you move in with someone.

    Modern courtship tends to be cautious and drawn out, but it doesn't need to be. Plenty of couples have gotten together and lived together in less time than 8 months. You are however about to learn a lot about your partner that you didn't know or notice before. Be ready to compromise and forgive.

    I think it doesn't matter what other people think just as long as you're comfortable with it and feel good about the decision. There are no rules about how long you should be with someone before you live together. Just make sure it's what you BOTH want.

    It all depends on the two of you. 8 months sounds perfectly reasonable to me... Is this your first time living with a boyfriend? Do you see a future beyond just living together? Does he? Make sure you both are going into this with the same understanding. If you are wanting to get married someday and he isn't, you may want to re-think this. If he wants to live together for a couple of years and then maybe talk about marriage and you agree with that, it's all good! Communication is the key to all successful relationships. Know what you are getting into before hand, make sure you are both on the same page and want the same things.
