You read that right. Living together is not a mistake.

I never realized how many people think living with your significant other is such a crazy idea. I didn't think everybody who found out would have such a negative opinion about it too, as if it made a difference to them.

Surprisingly, the most supportive people about me living with my boyfriend have been my parents. They were totally cool with it, because they trust my judgement. They know I wouldn't do anything stupid or that I wasn't ready for. We've been together for 2 years, so it's not that illogical of a relationship move.

Well, what happens when you fight? Ummm, we'll work it out? I don't know, maybe talk it out like rational human beings? Why is fighting such a big problem? Married couples fight and no one says anything to them about it. But because we're young 20-year-olds many people just assume we'll call it quits after one fight.

You're going to get sick of one another. Says you. We don't spend every second of every day together. I have school and work stuff and he has a job. We don't have time to be up each other's butts. Yes we have days when neither of us have anything going on, and we'll spend that whole day together, and it's so nice.

So since you live together are you guys going to get married? Well we're only 20, so we don't know. It could happen, I honestly don't see why it wouldn't, but you never know. Ask us again when we have the money for engagement rings and a wedding.

What's it like living together? It's like living with your best friend. I can't tell you how nice it is to be in class and get a text saying that they started dinner, or they miss you, or have plans for the two of you when you get home. It's so far from boring.

I get that because I'm so young that people assume I know nothing about love or relationships. However, just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know how I feel, or how my partner feels. I know we love each other, and that living together is something we both wanted.

I am sure that people will think this won't last, or that we've made a huge mistake, but we don't care. It's our lives, our choice, and our happiness.
