hello! New user here.

Ok I’ll try to keep it short..my boyfriend and I have been together just a little shy of 2 years. He’s 27, I’m 25. We have a good relationship besides natural bickering amongst two head strong people.

Basically, I moved from NC back to IL to help out my grandparents for half a year to a year..while he gets his family situations in order.

Before I moved to IL, he was mentioning how he wanted us to get a place together, name of the place and all! I’m here visiting for a couple weeks and we’ve had some moments in which we both annoyed each other or made each other feel a way but not to the point of him not wanting to move in together now. He’s lived (not officially but damn near) at my place when I lived locally, wanted to stay with me then..to change his mind. To say he wants us to move into “Ashley Oaks” with our dog and start our life. To “nope” again. He says he wants us to get stronger before we move in together and I agree to a certain extent BUT how can we if we live in different states. He annoys the crap out of me but I know he’s who I want to spend my life with but I don’t know if it’s the same for him anymore.

I might be just tripping or putting pressure on the situation but I was wondering if there was any kind advice on if I should move on due to me wanting more out of our relationship and to move it forward OR be patient and see how things play out?
