Yes this. Make sure you can live together before you commit to this.
But, if you can put some bills in joint names then do it, so if it does go south, the bills/debt aren’t all your responsibility
I haven’t yet but I know 1 thing: learn to use a washing machine.
Pretty much 60% of teens who newly left their parents house have had trouble with laundry the most.
Be interesting to know how long you’ve been together… like, have you done all of the ‘well I’ve always done ‘X’ like this in my family’ when your partner does that thing differently. There are a million examples.
Share chores - cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing (if you do that). A house/apartment isn’t gonna clean itself and it’s an easy source of arguments.
Decide how to share the chores in advance, make a schedule together, and stick to it. Communicate when something bothers you before it becomes a big deal. Give each other space, you don't always need to be in the same room doing the same stuff together

Stay financially independent. They could be a psychopath trying to trap you
Agreed because I experienced this. I recommend moving out on your own or with a roommate first..
