Staying Together

Someone asked me this question:

"What do you think of staying together?"

For me, this is a tough question. If I am in oversea, I should not have any issues with staying together. I will not give second thought and agreed with the suggestion, if I have decided to be committed; however, in Malaysia. It will become an issue for most of us. First, how to answer to our family? "Why you are not staying with your brother and rent a room with friend?"

Staying together is not as simple as most of people think. It is not as like packing your belonging and move into your beloved partner place and happy after.. It is a challenge and lot of hard work. Start from the change of habit, space, etc.. It is a totally different ball game as dating.

Ok, I still believe love can overcome the obstacles and depend on how we working it out together.

We are staying together because of you!!!

then again, easy for us to think or say it....
really a problem when family member really 'dig' in the reason for moving out and not staying together... especially, you own/partly own the place you are staying now.....
Hope i got someone to stay with :(

living with a partner isn't that hard to get used to when you've seen him almost everyday. i've lived with my bf almost since the day we got together and almost 2 years on, we're still doing great. i guess it's a matter of give and take, and tolerance definitely.

it's the family part that's a big problem. though coming out to the them are the only way out haha. or just keep them in the dark about everything. you don't have to tell them you sleep together, don't you? :P
