2. Not living together doesn’t have to mean breaking up.
Can nervous feelings about moving in together mean that you have doubts about your relationship?
Sure!
But those nervous feelings can also just mean that you aren’t ready to take that step yet.
Not feeling ready to live together doesn’t mean your relationship is over, it just means it’s moving at a different speed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
3. Moving in together because you feel pressured is NOT a good reason to be living together.
I cannot overstate this: if you’re just moving in with him because you feel pressured to do it, don’t move in with him.
If your relationship isn’t in a place where you can be open and honest about your feelings (even big feelings like this) then rushing cohabitation is a terrible idea.
Your home is supposed to be a place where you can let down your guard and be yourself.
If you’re constantly guarded around your partner and you live with that partner it’s going to emotionally exhaust you to the max.
While relationships are absolutely about compromise, they are also about communication. If you’re feeling pressured from him to move in together, you need to be able to communicate those feelings. Keeping them bottled up can lead to mounting pressure and an explosion that could end your relationship.
Bottled up emotions are more dangerous than TNT.
