Living together is not always the best alternative. Today more and more women and men for one reason or another live alone. When they are young they are continuously asked whether or not they have a girl / boy friend. Some people might even make allusion to the fact that they may be gay. Older people just can not understand them, because they are accustomed to other kind of relationship and way of living. Lots of very successful women nowadays, have come through a divorce or separation and have chosen to live alone; they have strong long term relationships but have decided for themselves that living alone is the best in their situation.
Just think about - living together brings familiarity. I am sure you do not want to see your lover cutting his toenails or nasal hair. Or you just don't want him to see you with a face pack on. Living together the magic disappear. You will take each other for granted and you never get asked out on a date.
I think the message in this for couples is, pay attention to the mystery in your relationship. Your partner certainly does not need to witness your intimate personal hygiene regimen. Remember that your partner is a sensitive human being; show that you are interested and that you care. Ask them out on a date.
A sensitive supportive relationship is a wonderful thing, however, sharing your space and your life with someone just for the sake of not living alone, is probably not a good idea. You'll end up making compromises that will frustrate you, their habits will bother you and before you know it you'll be making plans to be on your own again.
Take your time, get to know your partner a little bit better – or just keep the relationship on a dating basis, it works fine for lots of people nowadays.
