You learn a lot about people when you move in with them. The best advise I can give is prior too moving in together sit down and setup a budget. Decide if you are going to split all the bill’s IE rent, cable TV, internet, groceries etc. This way neither of you will feel like your being taken advantage of. You will probably save yourself a lot of stupid arguments and unspoken resentment.

You can also talk about who will do what around the house, it probably wouldn’t be fair if he moved in and all the sudden your housekeeping got 3x harder and he dosen’t pitch in. Telling him what you expect from him before he makes the move will help. Make sure you both still do your own things and you don’t spend every waking moment together. You don’t want him too feel smothered … likewise you don’t want too feel smothered.

Congratulations on a big event in your life, I hope it goes well.

living with your bf is wonderful. i’ve lived with my bf for almost 5 years and I love it! I do agree with setting up a budget. that’s what we do. just relax, things will work out fine. it’s an incredible experience. Enjoy it.
