Before packing your bags, it's worth talking - honestly and without illusions. Below are three "adult" conversations that should take place before moving.

1. Financial expectations and reality.
Money is not a romantic topic, but it is extremely important. Who pays the rent? Who takes care of household expenses? What if one of you is temporarily unable to work? Don't be afraid to ask uncomfortable questions: this is not about self-interest, but about maturity. Financial transparency creates trust, and is not a romantic taboo - a reason for misunderstandings and resentment.

2. Personal space and everyday habits.
You are used to waking up to music, he is used to complete silence. He works late, you are an early bird. You like order, and his socks have a life of their own. These are small things, but they are what everyday life is built from. Have an open discussion about how you imagine your life together. What is comfort for both of you, how you will resolve conflicts, and what habits are you ready to adopt (or change).

3. About the future: what do you both want.
Moving is the beginning of a new chapter, not just a change of address. Ask yourself and your partner direct questions: what are our goals? Do we want children? What will happen if one of us changes our minds? Are you ready to build a career in a new country, to start from scratch if necessary? These conversations do not kill the romance - they make it deeper, more conscious and more real.

Moving in with your loved one can be the beginning of the happiest chapter in your life. But to prevent this chapter from becoming a plot for drama, it is important to talk. Calmly, honestly, and before all decisions have been made. After all, true intimacy is when you can be not only lovers, but also allies in difficult topics.
