I desperately want to move in with my girlfriend, but I can imagine it's harder to find time for yourself once you to.
I agree. I didn't used to think she was abusive, but she is. She hurt me emotionally so much but she made me feel so pathetic if I brought it up that she ever said things that hurt me. She'd say I'm too sensitive, then call me rude and cruel. Then when I said anything she didn't like in the least, she'd scream at me. Only she was allowed to have hurt feelings, no one else. I'm much happier here than I was at home. Nothing holds me back from what I want to do, and I have someone who loves me and supports me and never puts me down. And putting things together indeed made us feel closer. It sounds so corny but when we finished cleaning up and putting everything in place, we just hugged and stood there feeling accomplished. Then we laid down and he told me he loved me more than anything. He's a sweetheart :2thumbsup: Everything takes getting used to. We get our alone time together and our time separate and it works out fine so far. There's no need to be on top of each other all the time. We live together, anywhere we go means coming home to each to each other anyway.
