Working towards moving in with my more settled partner. The time frame can be anywhere between 2 months to this year’s end, multiple factors are at play here but we know that’s the end goal. So I have “plenty” of time to work through this.
Her sense of style and decorating instincts are immaculate. Her place is covered wall to wall with her decals, wall art, rugs, storage cupboards and favorite color. Not a single unclaimed corner.
Therein lies the “problem”, it very much feels like her apartment is complete. My stuff is flatly, just worse in comparison and awkward when I imagine shoving it in.
She’s been eager to talk of shifting things around, what she’d keep or toss. But I can’t bring myself to match her energy in kind. I have a mental block.
So I’d like to open the floor to you lovelies’ stories of moving in with a partner. How’d you stop feeling like a guest? What did you wish you could have done different? What’s a choice you did that felt risky at the time but worked out? Did you watch any youtube channels to get layout inspiration? Every and anything you think could apply here, I’d love to hear.
Thx in advance!
