<prompt> Human: My girlfriend F22 and I M22 will be heading down to Toronto, ON to pursue more schooling. We have decided to rent an apartment together and we are currently in the process of choosing a one. It is also both our first time of moving out of our respective parents houses. While our relationship is great right now and hopefully for a long time!, I do want to be smart about the upcoming decisions we will need to make so nothing can backfire on either of us if things go sour ie. breakup, landlord issues, etc. I would like to hear some advice and tips from you guysgals regarding this if you can offer it. Thanks.  <response>: Oh buddy. Compromise. Learn the definition of this word. Youre young and your ego will force you to defend things you might not have rationalized well. Same for her. If you can put this concept there is a difference between knowing about a concept and operating from it at the forefront of your disputes then you can QUICKLY lead your disagreements into a healthy positive compromise. My 2 cents
