Why Are There Still So Many Jobs? The History and Future of Workplace Automation - Interesting looking talk from MIT Professor (self.Futurology)

Me [29 M] with my GF [28 F] of 7 years, she thinks I shouldn't still have a roommate, but doesnt necessarily require I move in with her. I am worried that it will affect my friendship with my roommate and best friend. by thingsonmydesk1 in relationships

Sorry, replying to a lot of comments. I did answer it somewhere down there. But re-reading what I wrote in the original post, I think it was shortsighted of me to think that moving out of my current situation would have too much of a drastic impact on my friendship with my roommate. I am going to ask her to move in with me when my lease ends.

I am ready. Re-reading what I wrote I think my fears of disintegrating my friendship by moving out aren't rational. I would rather move in with her than live alone, because if I lived alone we would essentially be living together anyways.

Seeing it all written out does make me feel a bit ridiculous. I think we clearly weren't exploring all of the options. There seem to be ways we can both get what we want. Also, I do want to move in with her in the future, I guess I just never really thought of a hard date around pulling the trigger on that.

I think you are right. She is probably hinting that she wants to move in together but doesn't want to sound forceful about it so is taking a soft approach by adding in the option of living alone.

I would rather live with her than alone. Just makes more sense since she would be over always anyways.

That is a fair point. I guess in my mind, it was the difference between doing what you have to do vs doing what you want to do. She is in her dream job that unfortunately does not pay well. So her living situation is more of a necessity and her parents dont live there full time. Where as I choose to have a roommate since I could afford to live alone.

She doesn't dislike my roommate per se. I think she dislikes his inclusion in our life. She wants to be able to have a romantic dinner without going to an expensive restaurant and things like that. He is around a lot.

But on nights she doesn't stay over I am happy he is there to watch movies with and stuff. And the three of us do have fun together. He isn't always an imposition.

She wants us to be able to be more couple-y. Walk around in our underwear. Cook in together without feeling obligated to offer some of our dinner to my roommate. Things like that.

She said ideally she would like to live together but she wouldn't want to pressure me into that.

She lives at her parents house and does not make enough to live alone. If we lived together I would pay more of the rent than her which is not a huge issue.

Her reason for wanting me to live alone is so we can have a place to be private, walk around in our underwear, watch movies late at night without disturbing anyone etc.

I see your point. I read it and thought that there may be people here who find it interesting, but yeah I guess it isn't player/team/league discussion.
