If you found out you will get laid off in a few months and need to focus on recruiting, will you tell your (non-married) significant other to leave your apartment?

Specifically, the concerns are:

  • Living with a significant other is inherently more distracting
  • If your significant other snores loudly, your non-optimal sleep quality will hinder interview performance
  • In the event that you and your significant other occasionally fight or get into arguments, it can be emotionally draining while you are trying to focus on recruiting
  • If your significant other gets sick, you’ll likely also fall ill, which could definitely interfere with any scheduled, upcoming interviews you have

With all the above concerns in mind, would you still allow your significant other to live inside your apartment (assuming that half your rent is being paid each month, but the lease is technically under your own name)?

 

You focus on the negatives and show no positives of living with said significant other.

Why are you together tbh - beyond recruiting, but just in general? 

For example, my partner has been my rock whenever I've had to go through tough things. We both snore fwiw. 

 

I guess there is some level of mutual love and care. But we don’t necessarily see each other as permanent long-term partners. We are supportive of each other, and it would be kinda heartbreaking to separate from living together (at least for the time being). But at the same time, it is hard for me to see past the concerns listed above.
