Prepare for the dynamic of the friendship to change, worst case scenario. Drunken nights (verbal fights) and disagreements can be forgotten, but I feel there's three essentials that must be categorically clear. Rent agreement (finances), sharing cleaning duties and food shopping responsibilities, and daily schedule/habits (quiet times and/or having people over).

Good luck and go B's.

There's a 70/30 chance you may not be friends with him after this.

It all depends on how chill yall are. My good friend lived with me for 4 years and we never had 1 single fight/argument. My other homie stayed wit me for like 3 weeks, and I told him he had to find another spot. It really just all depends on how considerate the person is, and how they were raised.

I live with my bestfriend right now and no issues so far and we are 2 years in. If yall have no issues keeping it 100 with each other then you should be okay OP. Good luck and remember to take the trash out!

This is honestly the best way to go, once you realize that you can't control people and no one is as clean as you

1. Keep the communication open. The moment you begin holding back what you need to say, it goes downhill from there.

2. Respect each other's space and items. If you have to use something of his, just make sure to ask.

3. If either of you bring yams to the apartment, make sure you have a way to signal one another that there's company over.

4 Your roommate's GF/Fiancé/Wife is OFF LIMITS. No matter if she makes the first move.

I think cohabiting with anyone your cool with is the ultimate test of the bond/relationship.

Like everyone else says, speak your mind.
Discuss expectations around chores and cleanliness early. (So underrated.)
Also discuss both of your pet peeves.

The tricky thing is, a good portion of what ticks you off, you wont know until it happens.

Good luck.

my best friend and i shared a studio apartment in Hollywood for a month. we had a bed and air mattress and alternated each day who got what. it was a fun time except for when we were talking to these two chicks and he brought one home and i struck out with the other. i had to sleep in the courtyard with no blanket as he got the yambs. gets cold as **** at night in LA. only issue we had was the dishes. dude refused to do the dishes and i did as well out of spite. we made some awesome meals though.
