This might be a mundane topic to those who come from a place where this kind of thing is socially acceptable or even encouraged, but see, I'm going to be living with someone not an immediate family member for the first time in my life next month and I haven't the foggiest idea what to do. Just general things: bills, house rules, etc. but the specifics I'm having trouble planning for.

So hubski, how do you cope with big changes? Do you try and reduce the unknowns obsessively? Do you play it by ear? How much control of your life's direction do you need?

EDIT: Should I have mentioned that my soon-to-be roommate is also my SO, and that we're both males?

EDIT 2: I'm sorry, but I misspoke. I have lived with other strangers before but in highly regimented in-campus dorms, not in an apartment-esque unit where you're basically free to do whatever you want.

EDIT 3: I don't know how to do a strikethrough.
