Once you’re directionally aligned on fundamentals:
-career aspirations, friends/ family circle, kids, practicing religion, values, initial city to settle in, know each other’s income/ earning potential, lifestyle you want to live, alignment on basic finances

This too much, you can live together when it makes financial sense and work on all that at the same time.

Is it messed up to want my gf to move in with me for financial reasons? We have been together for 6 months and about 4 months in I knew I wanted her to move in. But then things got really rocky. After that happened I realized I now would have to wait for us to build some foundation before asking her to move in. I am now thinking about it and her moving in would be the easiest move ever for her. It would also save her about $1k/month. She is looking at places near my place also. (cont.)

Does anyone have any tips? Feel free to get into my DMs.

This is my best friend and she lives in another state. She didn’t respond. As someone who has bouts of depression like this I understand but I’m worried. Should I give her space until she reaches back out or send one more text telling her I love her? Or should I call? I dont know what to do.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

I’ve been with my bf for 18 months and we have not said ‘I love you’ to one another. I keep hearing about how the best/healthiest relationships are a slow burn, you’re friends first, grow to love each other, etc. I’ve never been in a relationship as emotionally slow as this one. It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?
