Five things to keep in mind before living together.

Before starting to live together,

points that we think should be suppressed

We reorganized it ourselves.

1️⃣ in anticipation of the timing of moving, have a sense of schedule 🗓️

2️⃣ Talk about the period and goals of living together so that "lazy cohabitation" does not continue ⏰

3️⃣ Clarify the sharing of living expenses such as rent and utilities and household chores 👫🏻

4️⃣ be considerate of each other's background, such as greeting parents and family relationships 🤝

5️⃣ Morning type / night type, good and bad at housework, hobby time, etc. 🏠

Not only fun, but the real "reality of living together."

But with a little preparation and discussion,

You can start with confidence 👬💞

If you care, save it ✨

If you think "This is also important for me!," please let me know in the comments ☺️

... Read more同棲前ってワクワクする反面、「決めておくこと」が曖昧だと小さなモヤモヤが積み重なりがちでした。私たちが追加でやってよかった“同棲前チェックリスト”を、低クリックになりやすい「すり合わせシート」っぽく使える形でまとめます。 ■価値観のすり合わせシート(そのままメモにコピペOK) 1)お金 ・家賃/光熱費/食費/日用品:毎月の予算上限はいくら? ・支払い方法:共同口座?立替?固定費だけ折半? ・貯金:目的(旅行/結婚/引越し)と毎月の金額 ・臨時出費(家電が壊れた等):何円以上は相談する? 2)家事 ・得意/苦手:料理、洗濯、掃除、ゴミ出しの優先度 ・“最低ライン”:部屋の散らかり許容度、掃除頻度 ・忙しい週のルール:外食OK日、惣菜OK、家事の免除条件 3)生活スタイル ・朝型/夜型:就寝起床の目安、静かにしたい時間 ・在宅/出社:通話や会議の配慮、作業スペースの確保 ・ひとり時間:週に何回ほしい?干渉しない合図は? 4)コミュニケーション ・ケンカした時:その場で話す?一晩置く? ・言われて嫌な言い方:NGワード/地雷(先に共有) ・週1ミーティング:家計・家事・予定を10分だけ確認 5)親・友人・来客 ・両親への挨拶のタイミング、呼び方、連絡頻度 ・友人を家に呼ぶ頻度、事前連絡は何日前? ・泊まりはOK/NG、OKなら条件(回数・寝具・時間) ■「同棲 気を付けること 女」でよく悩むポイント(体感) ・家事が“気づいた方がやる”になって負担が偏りやすいので、最初は細かく決めておく方がラクでした(例:料理は平日A、洗い物はB、みたいにセット化)。 ・体調不良や生理のしんどい日:家事ゼロでOK、買い物はデリバリーなど、逃げ道ルールがあると気まずさが減りました。 ■引越し前に確認して助かったこと ・初期費用と家具家電の優先順位(ベッド/冷蔵庫/洗濯機を先に) ・契約名義と解約時の負担(どちらが払うか、途中解約の違約金) このあたりまで決めておくと、「同棲する前に確認すること」が一通り埋まって安心でした。まずは上のシートを一緒に埋めて、埋まらない所=要相談ポイントとして残すのがおすすめです。
