Sometimes, moving in with your partner seems like the best idea, until shit hits the fan and you start reconsidering all your life decisions.

There’s leaving the plate on the table after eating, or extremely loud music. Are you ready for all this; if not you would rather live separately than have a fight over who is doing the dishes become the cause of your relationship’s downfall.
