Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML

Draw a line up the middle and take one side.

If one of you wants to stay wherever you are living and the other agrees to move out, you can usually have the lease rewritten under the name of the one staying. Did that when I realized my now ex-fiance was a waste of time and energy. He moved out, I kept the place. (This works best when he's done something incredibly stupid that you can hold over his head to motivate him to get lost.)

sell your half to a worse douche bag?

that makes no sense would you rather she waited until she was married to find out she doesn't want to live with the guy? snickerdoodles get your head out your ass and say hello to the real world

You can always get out of a lease. Its not really that difficult

hey maybe his idea will change once he spends 6 months with you!

I agree. Living with someone first will show you if you're compatible living together. A lot of people break up after they move in because it's not what they thought it would be. 'snickerdoodles' thinks she knows everything at 16.. but she clearly lives a boring, sheltered life. I'm living with my boyfriend AND I'm pregnant ..so I guess that makes me look bad for having a baby and living with my partner outside of marraige. 

Sorry but though your logic is super sound the stats disagree. People have more trouble having lived together before. It's probably because they came in not entirely committed.

haha oh no you shoul be married! (obvious sarcasm) tbh I'm not far of snickerdoodles age and i find it kind of sad how niave she is, I haven't had such niave/stupid views since I was about 11 :S

@txgirl09 by all means don't move in straight away because that would cause problems, but waiting until matrige to find out you can't stand being with that person 24/7 isn't a good idea either it's just getting the right balance between moving to fast, and bot moving at all

It would only be naive/stupid if there were no stats to back it up. Divorce rate is higher among couples who live together before marriage than those who decide to wait.
