Hi everyone!!

My boyfriend is moving in with me next month, as one of my housemates has decided to leave and move in with their girlfriend. For context I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 33, and we've been together for almost a year. We'll also have one other housemate who I've been living with since I moved into this house several months ago.

I'm so over the moon about living together and so is he!!! We've been talking about this for months and it's so exciting that it's becoming a reality so soon.

I've never lived with a partner before (despite being in two serious, long-term relationships) and have no idea what to expect. I know it's going to change our dynamic and is probably going to be tricky adjusting to being around each other even during very vulnerable, raw moments.

I'm honestly very excited for this new chapter in our relationship especially since we've talked about marriage in the next two years (I think he might be proposing soon because I accidentally found a ring box when I was helping him pack). We've never fought- although have had some small miscommunications but they never escalated. We usually have amazing communication and respect for boundaries, and share responsibilities really well from what I've experienced so far just from staying together.

Does anyone have good tips or advice for living with a partner for the first time? Since he's a little bit older than me, and has lived with one or two of his previous partners, I'm worried my inexperience will make the transition harder than it needs to be. He hasn't said anything to make me feel insecure, I just want to go into this with as much confidence as possible! Of course I've talked about this with him as well and he's always reassured me 💓 :-)

Thanks in advance!!!
