We're sure you've thought about it plenty of times but then you're still afraid to take that leap. Wondering what we're talking about? Live-in relationships of course! We've pretty much seen how they work in the movies and the problem with that is that the couple either seems super happy or super miserable. But a live-in relationship, like life, isn't just all black or all white. There are a lot of grey areas in between. So, sure it'll mean that you'll have to put up with each other even when you find each other super annoying but it also means that you'll get to spend a lot of lovely moments together too. So, if you're still contemplating whether or not to opt for a live-in relationship, here are all the advantages of it that you probably weren't aware of. Take a look.

Unlike being married, you don't have too many responsibilities in a live-in relationship. You're not obligated to meet each other's families or look after them. You don't even have to worry about providing for your partner. It's like living with a roommate with added benefits.

When you're in a live-in relationship, you know that there are still chances of splitting up so you try your best to be respectful to your partner instead of taking them for granted. This behaviour will help your bond grow and prosper even further.

We know this option isn't as easy as it looks but it isn't as difficult either. If things don't work out for you for some reason, you can always just pack your bags and move out. There is no legal measure required, no divorce, no alimonies, no tantrums. You just get to leave, plain and simple.

Okay, let's be honest. There's a huge difference between going out for a date with someone and actually living with that person. When you step out, you tend to put on your best behaviour. But when you're at home, you can just be yourself and this applies to your partner too. So, if you think that you and bae are endgame, living in together will help you figure out just how compatible you are.

Sure putting on an interesting film and munching on some snacks can really help elevate your mood but if there's one thing that can make you feel even better, it's enjoying these things with your partner. You'll end up having tons of fun and giggles that you'll always remember and cherish.

When you start living by yourself for the first time it feels like the greatest thing in the world. But over time you start missing your dad's caring voice, your mom's nagging habits and your sibling's annoying shenanigans. So, naturally, it can feel like a burden to come back to an empty house. When you're in a live-in relationship, you'll always have someone to come home to. And if that isn't great, we don't know what is.

Trust us when we say this, no matter how much you think that two people living together will get bored, that's not at all what happens. When you're living in with your partner, you end up having so much fun because you get to do things together. You no longer need to call up random friends to kill boredom, you can have an engaging conversation right at home with your partner.
