a Lover vs Boyfriend

A lover doesn’t see a need to get involved in a situation where there could be complications like these. It simply may not be worth their time, especially if they’re only interested in a sexual relationship.

Moving in together is a sign of a more committed relationship anyway, so it usually doesn’t happen with lovers.

It’s also worth noting that cohabiting in a long-term relationship usually lasts much longer than it would in a more casual relationship. This is due to the way that the relationship works out and the dynamics of living with another person.
