“Adulting” As Roommates: How To Have Success With Cohabitation

Conversations Brewing Podcast

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!

In this episode, you will hear the CB duo chat on...

• Discussing how cohabitation impacts mental health
• How to create a "safe and comfortable" home environment with whoever you are cohabitating with
• The uniqueness of "nonintimate" roommate relationships and how to create a successful dynamic
