I have been single for around 6 years. I went through a stage of hated being on my own (at the start) but then grew quite fond of it. Then recently I decided I would like to be a relationship again, I started seeing someone and it has become quite serious.
He has asked me about us moving in together (me move to his house) and I suddenly realised that I would miss being single! I would miss living on my own, I'm quite a solitary person and I don't think I'd like to live with anyone again I like my own space too much.
However, there are other reasons to consider moving in. I HATE where I live. I have terrible neighbours and am constantly harrassed on a daily basis. The kids cannot play out here as they get harrassed by the local feral kids and the main one is that DS is currently in the catchment area for a really, really bad secondary school.
So, do I agree to move in with him for the sake of moving out of this area and getting DS into a better school - giving up my single life in the process or hold on to my current life?
I know full well that if I didn't live in this area, I would not move in with him. So it would all be for the wrong reasons.
