I definitely agree with the article that making an agreement about moving out BEFORE moving in is huge! The reasons that a couple has problems initially are the reasons that the couple will break up in the end. There were always trust issues in my relationship with my boyfriend, from the very beginning. Not hearing my phone meant screening my calls, not catering to him when he was sick meant I didn't care, wanting to go out (with him, mind you) meant that I wasn't happy with him. The funny thing is that these things didn't stop him from moving across the country with me. 5 months into a 6 month lease, we re-signed for another 6 months and two weeks later, before we even started the new lease, he broke up with me... Had we talked about these things before, we wouldn't have made each other miserable for months because we would have written down that the person doing the leaving would either a) pay their half or b) find a suitable replacement.
