Moving In?

[jehanette]

So my girlfriend made a very vague (or maybe not so vague -- I've just never been in this situation before) overture to my moving out to live with her. I'm in Colorado; she's in Minneapolis. The suggestion brought nothing but panic, and while I was able to push it aside and eat dinner, I can't help but still feel rather nervous about the prospect. I think I could live with her, but at the same time, I can't bring myself to feel excited about the prospect. The most I can feel is a sort of resigned contentment mingled with nervousness.

This is normal, right?

Nervousness is normal but shouldn't you feel a little happy?

That's just the thing. I feel like I should, but I couldn't feel anything but panic. It's possible it's an idea I just haven't been ready for in my own life, and it doesn't help that this is the first time a relationship's ever gotten this serious for me. I don't know what I'm doing or what I should do.

Well ...

Feeling nervous is typical. Most people do before moving.

Feeling unenthusiastic is less common with regard to moving in with someone. If the idea of spending more time together doesn't fill you with excitement, consider carefully whether it's a move you really want to make.
