DEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend is desperate for me to move in with her, and although I love her, it’s the last thing I want. But I’ve got myself in a corner, making one excuse after another to duck the issue. Now we can’t go more than a week without arguing.
We are going on holiday soon and my partner gave me an ultimatum, saying she wanted a moving-in date otherwise our relationship is over. I hastily agreed to move in after the holiday but now I am dreading going away, knowing I’ll spend the whole time concocting another excuse. I am 44 and my partner is 43.
We have been together for almost six years. Get in touch with the Dear Deidre team Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors. Fill out and submit our easy-to-use and confidential form and the Dear Deidre team will get back to you.
You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page or email us at: [email protected] I live in the South East and my partner lives in the Midlands.
She has three children and two of them have special needs and learning difficulties, the youngest being more severe. I am more than happy with our current set-up – I drive to hers on Thursday and stay over until Monday night. But over the last year she has become fixated on me moving in.
I like having my own space and although I love her children, I find them very demanding. She is becoming moody and always picking a fight. I am not sure what to do.
Dear Deidre on relationships, je.
