    Hubski: what's your advice on living with someone y'also love? Is there any? I would be delighted, enchanted, and tickled to hear your thoughts.

Communicate. Be honest. Listen. Allow yourselves to have small arguments to prevent them from becoming big arguments.

Your living space no longer belongs to either of you as individuals exclusively. It now belongs to you as a couple. Live in it with consideration for yourself as an individual, for your SO as an individual, and for the both of you as a couple. All three share equal importance.

If this becomes a serious, long term relationship, you're gonna piss each other off. You're gonna get bored with each other. You're gonna be ridiculously happy with each other. You're gonna scare each other. This is part of being in a relationship. This is part of sharing your life with someone. Embrace it all, because more often than not, even when it doesn't seem like it, all of those feelings come from a very strong, very good place in your heart.

Have fun.
