Do you live with your OH?

Mr CB and I have lived together for 18 months. We'll continue to live here for another couple of years after we marry before we move out of London (hopefully to start a family). We rent where we are but have a couple of properties that we own elsewhere.

Our plan will be to buy something else once we're married and my finances can be directed elsewhere other than 'Project Wedding' as they are at the moment ?

Weve been living together for 15 months...bought a new build house and done it from scratch!

Im not really settled yet, still call my parents house 'home'...and I never knew how unromantic living with someone could be! I felt it was better to live together before our wedding so we wouldnt have the shock after our wedding.....its sooo hard! Still have not got him trained yet but I am seriously working on it!

Since I am trying to avoid going to blow dry my hair, I shall share..... hehe

Me and OH currently live 300 miles apart - me close to London, him up in N.Yorkshire! We were going to buy a house in April 2009 however he then proposed and I made the decision that I could maybe possibly live in married army quarters if it mean we could spend our savings on the wedding.

So the plan is to move into married quarters the week before the wedding (as we can't get the house any earlier) and then buy somewhere close to either his moms or my moms a year later as out kind of "future base". However, if I can't handle living in married quarters then we have a contingency 10% despoit for a house held back, just in case it comes to it.

Why do you ask?

We were in the process of moving in together last summer and then OH got made redundant so we are both currently living with my mum.

Our plan is to get our own place as soon after the wedding as possible, even if it means renting.

I've been with my partner now for almost 6 years, we've lived together for 3 years.

the 3 years prior to that we lived 40 miles away from eachother, both lived our separate lives, worked 9-5 jobs monday to friday but every weekend we always saw eachother, he eventually moved in with me and my parents in Nov 2008 & in April 2009 we moved into a rented luxury 2 bedroomed apartment. Since Oct 2010 we moved into a 2 bedroomed house and we love it!

We got engaged in April 2010, getting married in July 2011! ?

No, we don't. The lease on his flat isn't up yet. We've decided to add another 6 months to his lease, which will take us up to June.

We will be looking for somehwere to move in together, as my house won't be big enough for all of us.

I have 1 child, and he has 2 kids, who will come to stay every weekend. Plus we're expecting number 4. My house only has 2 bedrooms, nowhere near enough room for 4 kids.

We decided to do this, as he is starting a new job in january, so this way we will have a good few months to save a decent amount to find somewhere to fit us all.

We have lived together for 3 years and own our home. We would love to move somewhere bigger but can't afford it at the moment and houses very rarely come up for sale in our village, which is where we want to stay.

At the moment, we are looking at redecorating, getting new furniture, new floors & new carpet to glam the place up a bit. I think we'll live here for at least another 2 years but I love our little community.

Yes we do and have lived together for just over 2 years. Would love a house (so i can get my Claude ?) and then i will be happy!!

I officially moved into my boyfriends flat 16 months ago then we moved into a rented house 9 months ago. Quite happy renting at the moment and will hopefully buy something in a few years

We don't really live together yet, although he does spend most of his time here.

It's more to do with both of our daft work schedules and also the logistics of care for when we have OH's child than anything else though. Officially, he lives back with his parents again, but once we're married he'll move in here properly and has been warned that he'll start fending for himself when I'm working! TBH I can't wait, as the situation as it is at the moment really does my head in. The sooner the apron strings are cut and his mother stops doing everything for him, the better!

We bought our first house together in may 2009 so have been living together for 18mths! I love it, really do, never thought id be ok with sharing with someone but we both lead such busy lives its nice to come home each night to him

its a 3 bed house, so intend to stay here til first baby flow is here and then want to move out of the town a bit

Because I'm a right nosy old cow! ?

I just have seen a few posts on here about people moving in together after their wedding, so was interested to know people's individual circumstances. Plus in real life I have friends who have waited until after getting married to live together, and others who move in together before marriage.

I can't imagine trying to plan a wedding and also househunt at the same time and try to co-ordinate myself so that i could move into somewhere new straight after my wedding - it would be a complete disaster! I take my hat off to anyone who manages that!

We've been together 6 years today (?) and have live together for 3.5 years of that. We bought a flat in Feb 2007 with the intention of being in it a max of 3 years, then came the credit crunch! Whilst we've not lost money on our flat, we can't get a 10% deposit together for a house when paying an already extortionate mortgage so we're here and paying off debt / saving for another 18 months and then moving. Worst case scenario we'd borrow (more) from our parents!

Snap Tina Teaspoon! Whilst we were decorating, tiling etc our house b4 moving in, another young couple were getting married, decorating etc so they could move in straight after their honeymoon - my head would have been away with the stress! One thing at a time!

Although when I think how much it costs to run our home each month, if we were still at home our wedding savings would be massive!

But we got a great house & a great mortgage deal so it just swings in roundabouts.

We met in halls at uni 6 years ago, then moved to shared housing while students and now rent in the 'real' world. We've never really lived apart ?

When me and OH met we spent the 1st year living in my house that I owned, a 3 bed semi... while we were waiting for our houses to sell.

We both sold our houses within 2 weeks of each other which was handy, so we bought our brand new 6 bedroom house in cash rather than saving the money and getting a mortgage and we have lived together now for a total of 5 years.

We have been together for 9 years, and lived together for 2 and a half. We bought a flat in July 2008.

We are in a similar position to Rae. We need to save for a 10% deposit for a house, but we have a high interest rate on our mortgage and student debt to pay off! Realistically, we will be staying where we are for the next 3-4 years.

Yep.. since the very beginning... Rented for a year then bought this house.. we were going to move but buying a new build at the peak of the market means we cant now.. GRRRR Damn credit crunch lol!

We've been together for eight years, lived together for six and a half and I FINALLY have a ring on my finger - I know exactly how Waity Katy feels....ha!

We lived together for our whole relationship. We did start out as friends, but that lasted about a week we have been living together for 8 1/2 years now and rented for the first year before buying our own place. We are now on house number three, but I think this will be for a few years to come as we have 5 bedrooms so lots of space for baby Sneddon's!!

We currently live together in London but are building ourselves a house out in Surrey, so ill live in Surrey all the time and he will live split his time between London and Surrey!! It was his dream to build a house and he keeps making it bigger and adding things to it, ill be rattling around in it on my own all week!

Have been living together for over two years now in a rented flat, would love to buy but until i am well enough to work we could not afford a 3 bed in the area we want to be, so unlike most of you we are hoping that the market stays deflated increasing the chances of us getting a bigger house and garden so i can have a doggy

I found that not living with my ex was more difficult than living with him......

We had our first date on 11th March 2008, we then had to wait another 6 weeks for our second date as OH was in Afghanistan but it gave us plenty of time to do nothing but talk over the phone & internet until he got home so we felt like we really knew each other by the time he came home & our relationship really kicked off. For about the first year N had his flat in Bath & I was officially living with my parents in Cheltenham (and still working around Cheltenham & Worcester) so we both spent a lot of time on the road between each others homes but usually got about 5 nights a week togther. I found out I was pregnant in June last year having been told I would never get pregnant naturally & to get signed up for IVF as soon as I met the right man (oops!)! We started talking about living together then but I had a business in Cheltenham by this point & my OH was just going off to Afghanistan again followed by a month in Nepal. I then fractured my pelvis while 19 weeks pregnant - another big OOPS! I had to stay at my parents as needed someone around to look after me as I was completely bed bound for 8 weeks. OH was a star & stayed at my parents about 4 or 5 nights a week, even sleeping on the sofa when I was in too much pain with the pelvis fracture. Once I was allowed to start moving around (could make it to the bathroom, make a cup of tea & shuffle upstairs) I moved into OH's flat in Bath from end of Nov until I had our baby at start of February. I then had a week at my parents followed by 3 months at Bath. Then OH got posted by RAF to High Wycombe & as we aren't married we weren't allowed married quarters. I was to spend the next 3 months driving between Cheltenham, my OH's flat in Bath & the RAF Officers Mess in High Wycombe with a new baby - not fun!! Our house purchase at High Wycombe finally completed on 17th June so we've been here ever since. Gosh that was a complicated one!

We bought a house 3 years ago, before that he was spending 2 or 3 nights a week with me in the house I had to sell as part of my divorce. We have a lovely little 3 bed semi down a cul-de-sac near the park (oh how suburban!) and we'll have to wait until one of us retires to get a dog.

We met at uni but lived in separate shared houses throughout uni (although we stayed at each others houses most nights! We were basically living with each other but in two different houses!). Then we rented a flat in London for the first year after uni but due to the amount we were paying in rent we decided to buy somewhere outside of London after our 12-month lease was up. That was 3 and a half years ago. We are in a similar situation to Mr & Mrs Raef in that we bought just before the credit crunch on 100% mortgage so, although we havent lost any value on the house, we dont have a deposit to move. I'd love to be able to move but we simply cant afford it at the moment. I dont really want to have kids whilst in this house so ideally we'll move again in a couple of years time. After the wedding we'll be saving for a deposit!

Me and OH have been dating for 8 years now, first 4 years it was a long ditance realtionship I was from the North East OH from the Midlands. Moved to Midlands in 2006 rented a property for 12 months to test the waters and then decided to buy our perfect 3 bed detached house which we adore. I absoloutly love living with OH.

We've lived together about 3 and a half years, although in that time we did move out of rented accommodation back with parents for 6 months so we could save extra money to buy our house which we did last year.

Panda2011 you're right, that is complicated! Ouch for the pelvis though, that must have been painful - and very difficult.

Hmm so where are all the people that won't be living together until after they're married? I thought that there was much more of an even split on here but I think I must have been imagining it!

We moved quite quickly after meeting to be fair. Met in Sept 2008. I proposed on New years eve that year. We bought our house last June (2009) and have lived happily ever since :-)

Well am a newie to moving in together as me and OH only moved in together this year at Easter - so this will be our 1st Christmas in our house together!!!!

We have been together for 3 years, but as we lived an hours drive from each other we only really seen each other at weekends, both had full time jobs and i've a young son.

We finally thought it was time to live together and spend more time as a family, me and Aaron (my Son) took the plunge and moved out of our house and up to OH's house, slightly bigger, and a really nice area.

We plan to stay in this house now until at least my son starts High School (another 3 yrs to go yet), although i've moved into OH house, we re-decorate throughout he he, make it more homely!! x

Me and my H2B do not live together. I rent with a friend in Surrey and he moved back in with his mum in North London soon after proposing last Xmas. We exchanged contracts on our new 3 Bedroom home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire two weeks ago!!!

I can't wait to move in but with the Wedding i don't think i'll be in until March due to the lack of furniture!!!

It was really hard buying a house and planning a wedding at the same time but we just about managed to do it! It's a first home for both of us so it's really exciting!!!

We've been living together for just over 2 years. Met March 08 and rented July 08-Oct 09 when we bought our house......still there now. I was lucky in that my mum gave me £10k for a deposit on the house which was really handy so now we're just biding our time there with intention to move when market picks up in a year or two!
