The unglamorous parts are settled: money, chores, conflict, and what happens if it does not work.

The relationship part looks steady. The money and the what-if part has not been said out loud yet.

Nothing here says do not. It says not yet, and it names what would have to be true first.
Read the full result →Moving in to fix something
This reads less like a next step and more like a repair plan. Worth looking at before any lease.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should you date before moving in together?
There is no number of months that makes it safe, and couples who move in at eight months do fine while couples who wait three years do not. What predicts a smoother first year is what has already happened: whether you have argued and repaired, whether you have seen each other tired and broke and sick, and whether money has been discussed with actual numbers. If none of that has happened yet, more time is mostly a way of letting it happen.
What should we agree on before moving in together?
Six things, in writing if you can: how rent and bills are split, who buys groceries and household stuff, what happens to the deposit and the lease if you split up, how guests and overnight visitors work, what each of you means by moving in, and whose furniture is whose. It takes one evening. The point is not the document, it is finding out now which of the six he goes quiet on.
Is it a red flag if he will not talk about what happens if we break up?
Not on its own. Plenty of people find the question superstitious or hear it as doubt about them rather than planning. What matters is what happens after you explain why you are asking. If it becomes a conversation, that is normal friction. If the subject cannot be raised twice, or raising it costs you something every time, that pattern is worth more attention than the original question was.
Will moving in together fix our relationship problems?
No, and it usually enlarges them. Living apart gives every unresolved thing a natural pause: the argument ends when someone goes home. Sharing an address removes that pause without adding any new repair skills, so the same conflict runs longer and restarts sooner. Problems that get better with cohabitation are logistical ones, like never having time together. Problems about trust, conflict, or where this is heading do not move.
Can a quiz tell me whether to move in with my boyfriend?
No, and this one does not try. It takes twelve questions about things you can observe, like how your last argument ended and whether the rent split has been said out loud, and sorts them into one of five outcomes with next steps. That gives you a specific list of what is unsettled rather than a verdict. No account is needed and your answers stay in your browser.
