If it\\’s your apartment, you\\’ll have to accept a lot of new things and learn to compromise. Now it will no longer be just your apartment, but a shared living space where both of you should feel at home.What changes do you need to prepare for?You\\’ve probably been used to having the bathroom to yourself until now, but that\\’s about to change. Is your bathroom big enough for both of you? Wait until you need to use the mirror and your partner is brushing their teeth or your partner is doing their makeup. When you need to use the toilet, you may be surprised to find that your partner has a habit of spending a lot of time in there, perhaps even with their cell phone. The routines of both partners, which have been different until now, will begin to change, and not all of these changes will be pleasant, especially if one is a perfectionist and the other is a bit messy. Be prepared to find your things in a different place than you are used to. Food you have never seen before will start to appear in your refrigerator and take up space. This is especially challenging for perfectionists who love order and bring home a messy partner who has a habit of leaving clothes, candy wrappers, or unwashed dishes lying around everywhere. You will also need to get used to visitors, i.e., your partner\\’s family and friends. Maybe you just wanted a quiet day and a little rest, but suddenly you have your potential mother-in-law at home telling you about her experiences from her youth, or a group of people who are louder than your friends and sprawl out across the entire sofa.What else should you change before moving in?Your partner will need space for their belongings. So, like it or not, you have to reevaluate what you need and what has to go. One drawer and a shelf in the kitchen won\\’t be enough if you\\’re going to live together. You have to be willing to offer exactly as much space as you will have left for yourself.
