writes:I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now, and we have both decided we want to move in together. However, realizing our leases were up at separate times, mine being up 4 months earlier, we talked about me getting an interim place, bigger than where I live now, so that when his lease is up, he can move in with me and at that point have 9 months to find a place that will fit both of us. So I am moving into my new apartment this weekend, and he has been getting super upset, emotional, and angry. What can I do to make this situation better? I thought being proactive and getting an interim place would be better instead of suggesting I move into his place and crowd him or be too needy. Reply to this Question

Why is he getting emotional and angry? Have you tried to talk to him? If he's the kind of guy that is easy to talk to, you really should do it. Even if he's not, try to. This is just my opinion, but I think he should have suggested that you move in with him for his remaining four months. Not only would it save you both on rent but if he feels crowded or that you're being too needy now, is a couple of hundred of square footage going to make him feel different? I moved in with my boyfriend 5 months ago, I've never lived with anyone else. This is only my opinion but, think about this before you do it. Living with someone can be difficult (if this is your first time). On the other hand, if you & your boyfriend truely love eachother & can work this issue out, you'll have a blast living together. I think I've responded to your question, and then some =) good luck
