I moved in with my ex at 5 months. We didn’t know each other well enough. Constant arguments. We couldn’t agree on anything household related. On the one hand, better to have found out we were incompatible sooner rather than later. On the other hand, maybe I would have figured it out in other ways. No regrets, but I advise you to be prepared financially and emotionally to move out again quite quickly if things don’t work out.
i’d say it depends on how much time is already spent together. like my partner and I both have our own places and we plan on moving in together but even when that happens we will have been dating for over a year, but we still see each other almost every day and stay at each other places when convenient.
It’s really up to the two people involved. Personally, my partner and I moved in 3-4 months into our relationship. Been together 2 years and just as happy.
If you asked me before 2025, I would’ve said anything less than a year because my only experience moving in with a partner had been with my ex after 1 year, and even then we were worried it may have been too soon at the time (turned out to be fine). However I’ve been in a relationship since mid January, after a month he was staying over every night, and in late April we made the move-in official by getting a bigger apartment that better accommodated the both of us.
It’s good to have a general rule of thumb for people who haven’t made that leap in relationships before, but I also think so much of it is dependent on the people involved and the situation they’re in. We all have different needs and preferences in order to live our best life. Some of us know pretty quickly that the person we’re with will be a good housemate fit for us.
Moved in with my now husband after just 5 months. We lived together for 10 years and bought a house together before we got married though. We were both in our late 20’s when we started dating. Just clicked.
I don’t really think it’s ever too soon. If two people feel like there ready and they want to live together who’s to say it’s too early. If things are gonna get messy/complicated once you live together I’d rather know months into the relationship vs years

Before they know you’re partners.
Less than 6 months for me.. maybe even more.
Never! If you’re both comfortable with it- do it
Ever.
Less than a year.
Even longer if you have kids.
When you’re only doing it to split costs.
When you haven’t witnessed how they are when they’re having a bad day and in a terrible mood.
Before both of you are truly ready. Could be 5 weeks, 5 months or 5 years. If one of you is having second thoughts or any doubts, then it’s too soon

When you are both ready, doing it for the right reasons and both have the same amount to gain from it. I moved in after a year of dating.
