For me, it's always a joy to see the two of you together. You compliment each other so well, and the love is clearly there. I can understand your concerns: both of you are very particular about your living space, and few things can muck up a perfectly good love affair better than the annoyances of daily living. Thankfully, both you are coming into this with your eyes open. What helped -e and I a lot were several frank conversations about boundaries and expectations. We have a cleaning service come in every two weeks, for example, which got rid of a lot of petty arguments. I have designated areas for my messes, etc. I think you know each other well enough to anticipate what your areas of conflict will be, and work things out ahead of time.
Living together will always be a big step. I'm not sure one can entirely be calm and confident about it. Heck, the nervousness can be part of the fun. Just remember that looking is not a commitment. Good Luck.
