Not wanting to rush things but its happening!!!

[red37]

Hi everyone

I have just gone into a new relationship after a tormented 5 years of being an alcoholics wife...this guy is sweet, caring the total opposite to what I have been used to... the thing is we have both agreed that we dont want to rush things but such strong feelings are developing and it is both sides...please I need a bit of guidance, I just dont want to make a fool of myself... anyone been in this situation before..it is not a rebound thing as I was on my own for 9 months before I met this man...help, my feelings are freaking me out a little...thx for reading

red37, good for you - enjoy it. Just keep your feet on the ground (or at least try ) & don't compromise too much on things.

Make sure you don't fold everything else you had going on before you met this chap.

Good luck

ENjoy it. The bits not to rush are the 'moving in together' bits. All the silly phone calls and lots of shagging etc are there to be enjoyed.

SGB has left the thread - but I am nearly as wise as she. So I will tell you - don't move in together for at least a year.

msboogie - very good advice

Why move in together ever? Enjoy the good bits long term, without the irritations!

I would agree - give it at least a year. And remember you don't have to, ever if you don't particularly want to. One of the more common mistakes people make with relationships is insisting that they progress in this strict linear fashion when actually not all relationships need to be like that.
