Is a relationship doomed to crash and burn if a couple move in together after knowing each other for 3 weeks?

I'm FINALLY moving out of my mom and dads house. It's just gonna be me and my older brother. He's been going out with this girl for about ummmm....I dunno 3 weeks close to a month now. He insist on letting her move in, but I try to tell'em to give the relationship time to grow. But, being the younger sibling he doesn't care. I'm wondering poeple.

Be ready to pay more of the rent-it might be a fluke and they work out but in all reality-I don't see it happening.

the only way to find out is to give it a try i guess...however, usually the things that you love about the person in the beginning usually turn into the things you hate about them after a while...just fyi from an old lady

as my brother always says...3 months...after that its one way or the other....

I wouldn't move in with anyone in 3 weeks...

I did it after 11 months and it didn't work well....

I agree with Urg...start saving the cash for that rainy day..

good luck...

If it's anything like what I think your implying (if that's how you spell it I don't know) Honesty I think we're safe in that department cuz what happens between them is gonna stay between them. I'm working 16 hours. out of each day so I think I'm safe.


I'll take yalls word for it and I'll start saving for a rainy day, or a flood.......or a tsunami.

At only 19 years of age with no previous experience of living on your own with ANY room mate, there are going to be problems.

My daughter recently did something similar. The brother relationship got strained by the female in the way. She had her schedule, her way of doing things and the brother with her defended her actions even if the other brother felt slighted. It only worked for about two months and they moved into different houses. I told her before she moved in there would be problems. Living together is just a whole different animal then people think it is before they get there. Good Luck with that one, save your money for your own place.

Anything is possible.

My kids father and I met when I was 17, he was 18, we moved in together within a week and were together for 18 years.

And we also shared houses for the first five years, until our son was one, we always shared houses with others.

Anything is possible...flowerforyou
