Recently moved in

I’ve been with my BF for almost two years, and we had been talking about moving in together for awhile and did it at the beginning of May. We’re really happy together, and I spent the majority of the week at his house anyways so it just made sense to live together full time. The issue we have ran into is that his apartment is quite small, and I’m finding it hard to get comfortable with my stuff there. The main issue is that I feel like he won’t make any compromise on his stuff, like if I ask to move something or get rid of something that is never used. For example, he has a stack of four cheap chairs that he got for free. They’re ugly, and they’ve only been used once since we started dating when he had a bunch of friends over, but they take up so much space in the very small house. He doesn’t want to get rid of them or move them. I feel like he still views it as his house, even though I’m now paying half the bills. I just don’t know what to do to make this transition easier. We don’t really have the option of moving to a new place because we love the area we’re in, and it’s an incredible deal compared to other places in the same area. I keep feeling like moving into his house was a mistake, but it’s too late now. I love him and I love spending everyday with him, it’s just a matter of space.

I also have completely gutted everything I have to try to make my load of stuff as small as possible, and I don’t have very much at all. The only piece of furniture I kept to bring is a tiny bookcase. I just feel like I’m making an effort to combine our lives and he’s not.
