When you live together, the relationship is less romantic, but all the deeper

GummiLove rookie Tizi has been living with the love of her life, Goio, for almost a year. This has made the relationship deeper. But there are also "downsides" - cleaning, for example.

Tizi has been living with her boyfriend Goio for almost a year. "We have our own apartment and it's awesome!" says the rookie. Just the idea of always being alone with the person you like is brilliant. "Deciding together what to do, what to eat...", she lists the advantages of living together. Nevertheless, Tizi is aware that sharing a flat with a partner is not all positive.

The sexpert tip

"The question 'My place or yours?' is probably over when you live together for the first time. On the one hand, it's certainly much more relaxed because you don't have to make out all the time, but living together also has its disadvantages. In addition to all the undisturbed eroticism and togetherness, there are also some unsexy things like cleaning, shopping and laundry. Living together for the first time is certainly a milestone in a relationship and there are a few things to consider to make sure that living together works well. I advise you to talk to each other a lot and discuss not only the nice things, but also the unpleasant topics such as household chores and finances. How things are arranged and taken care of. It certainly makes sense to discuss most things in advance so that there are no nasty surprises afterwards. If the household is fairly organized, this forms a great basis for feeling comfortable living together. Then there is also more time for sexy surprises so that the eroticism doesn't get lost."
