My best friend and I that I consider a brother are moving into an apartment. This will be the first time I have ever lived with him. I have known him for 10 years now and he is basically blood to me. I know things are going to be different because we used to hang out together all the time but I never lived with him.

Is there anything that I am going to expect now living with someone like their dirty habits, guests coming over.

I made a list of some ground rules to follow but I wanted to get some perspective from my NT family as to how you have dealt with living with someone else.

Any suggestions, comments, ideas or stories will help me greatly.

If you guys are able to communicate, there should be no issue.

This. Just respect each others space, and there won't be a problem. As long as you two are both adults, you'll be cool.

Moved in with my boy who I've known since junior high about 3-4 years ago, and we've only had issues once, and we spoke and dropped it the next morning.

Thanks bro. We have always had good communication with each other. I told him yesterday on the phone that if there is any kind of problem that arises even if it's the smallest matter that we will sit down and talk about this.
 
I've lived with my really good friends for years. No issues whatsoever. You guys will be fine. We don't even need to live together. We all could easily afford our own places but we do everything together anyways and this way we can rent really nice houses and afford it just fine. Everyone is different as far as tolerating roommates.
 
I remember living with my best friend that I've known for over 13 years. What I learned about him was he's a messy dude who doesn't like washing dishes, taking out the trash, or cleaning the place period. Besides that there were 0 issues living with him. I'm ocd about keeping the place clean but he wasn't. I probably wouldn't live with him again but as long as there's communication and you guys split the money or figure out how to deal with the groceries bills and keeping the place clean (taking out the trash, cleaning the bathroom and things) you'll be fine.
 
I like the responses that I have been getting.

He's not necessarily a dirty person but I will soon find out once everything is official with our apartment.
 
I've lived with my main homie. We never had an issue at all. Actually was a great experience since our communication was on point.
On the other hand, him and our other roommate always bumped heads.
 
Did it. Never had an issue

Only right that yall have an orgy at the apartment to solidify things

Have done it, worked fine.  We also worked opposite schedules so we only really hung out on weekends.  I'd be leaving for work in the morning on weekdays and he'd be getting home and cracking a beer

It's better to have a roommate who is someone you know than move in with a stranger.

Yeah, I think this helps too. We work pretty much the same schedule, but by the time we get home from work we both just crash. Then on the weekends we're usually with our girlfriends so we hardly ever see each other.:lol:
 
Lmao you made a LIST?

Communicate well and resprct eachother and its all good.


Throw a rave party tho
 
i lived with some of my best friends that i met in college through college. There werent too many issues besides dishes, keeping the house clean, etc.
Sacrifices are gonna have to be made on both side and as long as you realize that and are diplomat about it i dont see any issues arising
