Pro: You’ll never sleep alone again.

This can easily be a con if you’re a bed hog or your partner snores, but for those who spent most of their life snuggling with a bed full of throw pillows, it’s a dream come true.

Con: Laundry.

Compromise, compromise, compromise. Except when it comes to laundry. Then you should lead completely separate lives.

Pro: You have an excuse to stay in.

If you stay in on a Saturday night with nothing but pizza, Netflix, and yourself, you’re considered lame. But add your new roomie to that list, and suddenly it’s acceptable — some might even say it’s Instagram-worthy (I said some; I personally hate those people).

Con: You’ll have different tastes.

You like cats. He likes dogs. You like vegetables. He likes Ramen noodles and white bread. You like gold decor. He likes deer heads mounted on walls. Once again, I repeat: living with someone is about compromise. (Please let me know when y’all figure out exactly how to do that, because your girl needs help.)
