    Hi Sophie,

    I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but don’t move in together. If you want to get married, statistically that is less likely to happen when you are roommates. And if you’re unhappy one day, then you are “stuck”.

    I always kept my own place when I was dating my husband. Yes, it drove him nuts that we had two places, but life (and our relationship) was so much simpler.

    Best,

    Dear Sophie:

    Welcome back. Once you move in, sooner than later, you will struggle, I believe simply because you have struggled before. Here is what you wrote June last year: “I have anxiety in relationships… I get insecure, blame him for not showing me attention… i’m telling myself he doesn’t love me just to make it easier on myself by pushing him away”-

    You can re-read your own posts in previous threads, see what you are likely to encounter when you do move in, the difficulties you had before. Pay attention. Share with him responsibly (not expecting him to fix your difficulties). Balance time alone, while living with him, with time together. Have good communication, find reasonable solutions to conflicts. Avoid fighting- not a must in a relationship, it harms, doesn’t help, to argue and to fight.

    How has your communication been so far, within these two monthsI wonder. Did you already encounter conflicts and if you did, how did the two of you resolve those?

    Hi Anita

    thank you for your response, although slightly envoi after reading yours and the previous, we do not fight at all, our communication is beyond great I trust him 100 percent and like I said it’s not like any other relationship I’ve had. He makes me a better person and I’ve not had any anxiety or thoughts of running away, I feel secure and safe.

     

    i will take on what you said about communication and setting time for myself. As it is only 3 month of living together I personally think it will be good as we are living with others who are very sociable and fun.

    I hope that we can make it work because right now I’m on cloud nine.

     

    thank you

    Sophie
