moving in with a couple

Do you think this is a bad idea? My two best friends, (Frank I've known since 2nd grade, Liz I've known since the end of third grade) have been dating eachother for three years now... Long story short, Frank lives in Queens, me and Liz live in Hamilton.. I've been wanting to move up there for a while.. now we're all planning on getting an apartment together this August.. and I'll be transferring to a school up there.

I was just thinking about it lastnight though... will living with a couple really bother the shit out of me? They fight kind of a lot and have both cheated on eachother a bunch of times. the only thing is, I wouldn't really have anyone else to room with if I moved up there and didn't room with them.. and they have both told me that they really want to live with me, because we honestly all have a really great time together.

I don't know, any thoughts?

 

you'll probably get to see them naked

maybe even having sex


but thats about the only advantages I can see in this

 

I've seen them both naked before.

 

Gargleking is right.
Pissybaby, here's a true fact about life: when you co-apart with someone - there is a beginning and an end. Usually it ends badly.
You're probably - surely - doing this for the money - you'll find out that peace has no price...

 

lol. I mean, they are gunna have a room, and I'm gunna have a room, so I'm thinking if I get pissed off at or sick of either one of them, I can just go in my room and shut the door? or go for a walk?

 

I've never done it personally but, every story about something like that I ever heard, ended in an horror story. It's only on tv shows that it works out. At first it's really great but when it becomes enough - it can create anxiety.

 

wave goodbye to every good feeling you've ever had about them. it NEVER goes well.

 

So, pissbaby, we decided - you can't have any roomates. I'm happy we got that settled and came to a decision.

Next thread please.

 

lol, you guys are dissuading me! now I'm torn

 

Waddya mean "torn" - we told you what to do and we expect you to listen. What's more to say??? If you can't trust 3 or 4 anonymous internet people to tell you what to do with your life, who are you going to trust???

 

it's never good. not joking. and when they break up, as they inevitably will, one will have to move out or there will constant misery and hell, which will up the rent for whomever stays behind...which usually means a great deal of struggle and moving.

 

i vote nay...and fuck moving in with significant others, and finally...fuck moving in with friends...

 

I told them if they break up Liz has to move in my room and that's the end of it

I don't think they're gunna break up though. they're in love or some shit

 

"I was just thinking about it lastnight though... will living with a couple really bother the shit out of me? They fight kind of a lot and have both cheated on eachother a bunch of times. "

this.

 

I said that we had already decided on this.
If you guys keep posting, I'm going to have to lock this thread.

 

i think in this situation, impartial, objective, experienced people are more likely to give a good opinion than someone closer to the situation. no one ever thinks it'll happen to them.

 

yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm nervous about making a big decision. and I'm thinking really in depth about it. but at the same time.. I'm only gunna live once. only gunna be able to move up to the city and party like crazy with my best friends once. and what else are my options? sit at my dad's house, rotting away at a computer desk?

 

Move in with them and then save every penny that you can so that you can move when the situation goes to hell. Or just stay at your dad's and save your money. Just a thought.

 

I watch this day after day on Judge Judy



stay as far away from this situation as possible

 

If the relationship is great and the friendship even better, it could work out fine.

They fight a lot and have both cheated on each other? It's clearly not going to last. And there will be awkward situations for you to be in the middle. It's going to get old, really fast. I've lived with a couple before, albeit with an additional three people, and that was bad enough. If you're the only "neutral" person in the household, there is going to be resentment, side-taking and all kinds of dramatic nonsense.

If you'd described their relationship as awesome, I'd say go for it, but when it is dysfunctional, you'd be setting yourself up for disaster. You can always shack up with randoms if you're desperate for people to live with.
