If we are living together, how are we supposed to avoid becoming overfamiliar? What does that mean exactly, and can you elaborate on practical tips for maintaining excitement in the relationship?
I love my girlfriend and have expressed that to her many times. However, one day I suddenly started getting scared about not loving her, and I don't want to lose that love. I want to be with her because I love her smile and her energy. I'm beginning to wonder if my thoughts about not loving her are intrusive or if I'm scared of deep commitment. She is going to move into my house in a few days. I genuinely choose to love her, but I'm very sad thinking that she might not be the one. How can I better understand these feelings and ensure that I'm making the right choice?
I'm having trouble deciding if I should move in with my girlfriend. We have been dating for 11 months, and we are thinking of moving in together. However, there are some concerns from both sides. I don't like one of her cats; it's a menace, it urinates on her floor, attacks me, and is generally not a nice cat. The other cat is fine, and I can live with it. I would prefer if she could get rid of the first cat, but she obviously wants to keep it. She mentioned that she makes sacrifices for me, noting that I'm a loud sleeper and she believes I don't like sleeping over currently only because my computer isn't at her place. She thinks my apprehension would change if my computer was at her place. Can you add some insight on this situation?
