Moving in

[Emjk]

I’m nervous but excited about moving in with my boyfriend and his family. I know that I’ll miss all my friends back home and my family. Any advice on what to do?

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you Emjk. I never lived with a boyfriend's family so I am not familiar with this. Do you enjoy spending time with them? Have you been with your bf long? How did it go the other day by the way? I can message you if you like.

Congrats once again! ☺️

Thank you! I’ve been with him for almost 7 months. And it went well! I get along with his mom very well

That's great! I'm happy for you 😊

Awe well that’s wonderful! I hope he is a good man and makes you happy.

Spend time with family and friends before leaving to move in with him. How far away will they be from you?

[Emjk in reply to Hidden]

I’ll be living an hour and a half away from where I am now. So it’s a bit of a drive

Maybe you could meet halfway with them?

Hi! Congrats on moving in with them.

My first advice is to have a plan to meet up sometimes, maybe on weekends, with your family.

Another tip, remember that living with someone else is difficult, especially when it's multiple people. So just remember to keep an eye on your mental health. Sometimes people don't realize that things may be different behind closed doors.

Yeah I know. I try not to let my anxiety and depression spill over into my relationship but it's sometimes hard. I'm nervous but excited though to be moving and getting out of my hometown
