I'm going to disagree... but you knew that was coming I'm sure... lol My husband and I spent all of 4 days together before moving in together. We also spent a lot of time talking on the phone, on messenger and through email. That's been about four years ago and we are still blissfully happy. Sometimes you just know when it's the right thing to do. As for the "waiting"? gypsylee... talk to him, listen to him and reassure him... he probably IS thinking "what the hell have I done??!!" Do your best to let him know that your home is now His home as well. Make space for his special things. Make sure he has space for his clothes and other belongings, unpack and make it look like he lives there too. It's difficult to move into someone elses home especially if you look around and don't see anything that says you live there too. As an example... My daughter moved in with her girlfriend, she had lived there for several months when I went to visit. The first thing I noticed was that there was nothing sitting on a shelf, a table or anyplace else that said my daughter lived there. I had given her a family heirloom... she was the fifth generation to be in possession of a intricate soup tureen. I asked her where it was... it was in a box in the basement along with all of her other stuff. No, that relationship didn't last, she wasn't allowed to change the decor at all, nothing there was hers. Does that make sense? I guess the point I am making is that you need to make sure he feels like part of the household, that he has a say in how it is decorated or arranged and a place to put his stuff.... Jewel
