Don't forget all the "while you're on your way home" bullsh8t either Op. Can you run by here to pick this or that up? Nope, 15 miles is just about right!

Hey, at least the rest of us can enjoy our time off without the boss bothering us or coming over to ask a stupid question that could wait until tomorrow! Sorry man, don't live so close! LOL

If either one of you move somewhere you hate, you'll end up resenting the other person and the relationship suffers.

If you can't agree on where to live, then don't live together. Sounds to me like what you are fighting about is not really what you are fighting about. Sounds like what is the issue is who "gets their way."

Why not each of you live where you'd like to live, and continue seeing each other without living together? The relationship is not ready for the two of you to live together, if you can't decide where to live. Give it time and see where it goes.

Whoever has the higher paying job gets to pick the location. The other person has to suck it up! If you guys earn equivalent pay, I guess you will just have to compromise or break up.

I almost want to say this too.

I know someone in a similar position now. It's really tough becasue once you move in together it's pretty hard to live apart and remain a couple. People are too quick to move in because of circumstances or finances and the relationship isn't ready for it. People who are in mature, in love and comitted to each other don't often have this problem.

Wow, if just moving can cause such upheavel in your relationship, enough to make you actually consider breaking up, then that would probably be for the best..I mean how could your relationship possibly survive any significant issues, if this minor one causes you such concern! lovesMountains made the right call on this one.
