<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half. We have had our ups and downs and at times it has been quite turbulent. 

We believe that we are at a point in our relationship where we could live together and it would be really great, however when I suggested the idea to my flatmates they were not too supportive.

Their reasons are that an extra person in the flat would shift the dynamic and that they have had previous bad experiences with living with a couple.

I understand reasons and respect them, but I am really worried that my girlfriend will take it personally and be very upset. Would really appreciate any advice you have.
