That said, it's interesting that you reference Judge Judy, who caters to the absolute lowest common denominator of society. What gets ratings isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of real life.
Yeah, it's an interesting contrast to People's Court, which is on right before Judge Judy on my local station that carries both. PC actually addresses the laws of the jurisdiction the litigants are from (I caught one show where they actually had a case with people from my local area), like whether the tenant gets double or triple their security back from a landlord who is wrongfully withholding it and didn't send the notification as to why. Judge Judy just operates from "because this is how *I* see it!"
Going to side with the OP here - why doesn't she put the bed in storage? what's the difference between the bed sitting in the second bedroom vs. sitting in a storage unit since you said neither of you ever have visitors.
if the relationship lasts, you will hopefully one day buy a house with 3 bedrooms and then she can use the bed and not have to buy another one. or the relationship fails and she goes back to her own place and once again can then use the bed. it actually seems like a no-brainer.
Newsflash: the relationship won't last. She's somewhat of a marathon TV watcher, and resents his requests to keep the volume down while he's working during normal work hours. She's also a gambler and likes spendy weekends, while he's a saver, and very practical and disciplined in that regard.
They're doomed for the long run. If they keep separate apartments, they'll probably make it for the short-to-medium term.

Sorry, OP. Truth.
even more reason to keep the bed in storage.
OR - keep the bed in the second bedroom, see how it goes for 2 months, if it's working out (meaning the relationship), then move the bed to storage. that way it's only a temporary nuisance.

Other than that, she's fabulous.
Just out of curiosity, where's the part where she has an issue with gambling? I can't believe I missed that.
I dont see anything about this being a good idea. The OP is very comfortable in his private space, plus he works from home, so thats time he doesnt need to be bothered. If they move in together, is she really going to totally leave him alone when he's there working? and if he has to tell her to leave him alone while he's working, isnt that going to cause some bad feelings and resentment.
It sounds to me like the OP is perfectly happy with the relationship the way it is now, its the GF who wants to move in together, so she can save money so she can spend more money, and that she can see the OP more, which may infringe on OPs work time and private time.
Im thinking this is not a very good idea.
