“Adulting” As Roommates: How To Have Success With Cohabitation
Manage episode 341149148 series 3351860
This week the CB duo dives into a prominent topic in adulthood transitions that is under-discussed... cohabitating! Cohabitating of all kinds - with partners, friends, family, and strangers. They discuss their experiences with each kind - and how they come with their own challenges.
Using an article (shown below) as a discussion starter, they dive into the unique intimacy of "nonromantic" roommate relationships. Ravisha, who has lived with non-romantic partners for almost 10 years contrasts with Divya's experience living with her husband for over 5 years. They share what has worked with them in cohabitating (with all kinds of people) and what has absolutely not worked, so it can help navigate you in the right direction!
