You do realize if you move it won't be as easy, right. A lot of times it take two in a family to work. You might have to get a job. Or cut back, after you move. So think about that also. You know you don't need anyone's opinions on this subject, its time to go.

My sister-in-law lived with us for three months. she didn't work or do anything. We had to kick her out. We were enabling her to be lazy. My point is our relationship was hurt because she stayed so long. If they are ready for you to go, then it is time for you to go. Even if you have to stay with someone else. It is not this couples place to take care of anyone but there family. Keep your wonderful friends, and move. Tell them thanks for all they have done. And you love them for it. :-)

It's past time. There's no question, things will be much easier (and fun) when you're on your own. That may be some of his tension. I would not be in a good mood coming home to a group.

Do you have the money - deposit, 1str months rent, etc to move out? If so, start looking int he paper. If ya'll live near the base, there is usually a housing office that can give you a list of "military approved" housing.

It is always hard when two families live under the same roof. It doesn't matter if there are kids involved. You need to get your own place. You will have privacy and it is past the time that you moved out. You will be able to enjoy each other more with your own place also.

First of all what are you doing married if you can't afford a place of your own, I assume that is why you are living with another couple, if I am wrong correct me. Yes I think you should move out, when the others fight they must one must think that it is you all that cause it by fighting amoungs yourselves till it caused them to fight. Sometimes we share homes with other till we can get on our feet and get our own place, but marriage is something you take on when you are able to except responsibity for all that comes with it. Believe me Icome from the old days and I married a man that decided he didn't like working and we must of lived with everyone we knew it don't work, no matter how good of friends we have, it always is someone else's home and we tend to get in the way, I would get out as soon as I could, it will be a lot more peaceful.

No that is wrong we can afford our own place. we were invited to lie here and help them pay for their bills... My husband is in the marine we make enough money to move out and get our own place we just thought maybe this would be good for us to save money.. we have saved enough money to get an appartment... I think it would help is alot and out marriage....

whats the old saying two women in the house don't work,or is that kitchen lol. I think living with other people no matter how close you can never really relax to be yourselves or to do as you please,it's time to move into your own home to enjoy and leave them to enjoy theirs .

Yes, I think the time comes when you need to find your own place, and build a life for yourselves which is independent of others. You need your own space and your own private time, as do your friends. So, go ahead... it's time to start house-hunting. Have fun, and Brightest Blessings.

Yes, agreed. Marriage is about building a home together, and having fun doing so. Besides, I know it's early yet, but I daresay the time will come when you start thinking about having a family. Good luck.

Yes I think it's a good idea that you and your husband think about getting a place of your own. Just think you both would have your own privacy and no one would invade that. You wouldn't have to listen to the arguements of others wich wouldn't cause you guys to get stressed and snap at one another just cause the others do it. Seriously consider it for you both would be much happier I wish you both the best of luck and take care.

I would definetly think its time to move out. I never liked staying with other people any longer then I had to. I'm curious though, when one couple makes up after they were mad at each other, does the other one get to make up too? Hugs, Tianna

Well you can still make a great foursome lol. Yeah i think three months is long enough for you to still be sort of attached to some other people, the best thing would be to move out to some lonely place where you can keep both the sad and great moments to yourselves.

Yup, it's always better to have your own place - there's more privacy. I find it difficult to live with other people (not family members) on a long term basis. You have to watch your words and actions; and some people are not that considerate about using your things or invading your space!

This is a very complicated question. Everything depends on how financially sound you and your hubby are. I would suggest that the both of you take a financial management class to help get on a budget to prevent problems in the future. My husband and I never expected it to be this hard when we moved together. I managed to take care of all my bills when I was on my own with my daughter, and he did pretty well by himself also. But, together....with all the bills, mishaps, expectancies, and military business we have too many times where we get out of sync. Then there's the other couple who may be concerned of what they will do without that extra income and assistance that they will be missing when you are gone. I'm sure you want to stay on good terms with them, even after you leave. Good luck with everything and make sure you pray!

I agree! Marriage is about being together and learning more about each other. Living closer to base would definitely make it easier for your husband. This would save the both of you a ton on gas. Another member posted that it would be rough, and this is true. You probably would need to get a job and help out with the bills and other financial obligations. Good luck, and you know if you need any help or advice, I'm here for you.

thank you i really think it is time for us to move out and get closer to the base.. So my husband doesn't have to get up so early on pt days.. It sp hard for him to get up at three in the morning.. I don't think i could get up tat early for work.. I really do think it would be better for our marrage to get alittle bit of privacy time with my husband so we can do whatever we want in our own house.... I think it would help our relationship alot to live alone in our own house...

When I was much younger and married, we also lived with another couple. It lasted probably about 3 months. We were very good friends and at first it was all fine but it didn't take long before we began having little disagreements about silly things...just differences in lifestyles. We moved on and it actually salvaged our friendship with that couple. It's hard to live with others. I think you should be saving for your own place. It will make your marriage stronger and your friendship with the couple stronger as well.

This couple is one of my husband friends.. I didn't really know them when i moved in i met them once prier to moving in.. we don't ever fight... we all living here in my opionion we acuallly help each other out and i think we do really good living in a a house together... I help watch their baby and since my husband and i only have one car the other wife sometimes helps me out and takes me to my doctor appiontments since we go to the same doctors.. I think we do really good living in a house with another couple but i do think it id time for us to move out to give them their space and so we can ge our space and privacy that we need being in our first year of marrage... Thank you for the response..

pixie yes its past time when both of you get mad at your spouses, get out on your own and you probably will get mad at your hubby much less often as you wont have other people getting in your face like that.newly weds need time to them selves not company that is live in like that. you will have lots more fun alone together.

I think so, so you can have the privacy but you should talk to your husband regarding this.

I want to be alone with my husband... I think that is will be good for us... It will help us learn some new responsibilities..
