" worrys that I'll get bored of her if she spends too much time with "

Eyes open OP. The person you described in the past is very manipulative. 'Happy now?' was her put-down, wasn't it? Worrying you'll get bored of her etc smacks of huge insecurity on the one hand and fishing for compliments on the other. Please be aware of the technique. One minute you're broken up. The next she says 'I'm worried you'll get bored with me' and you're so eager to prove her wrong that you're moving in together.

Great advice from Cogito as always.

The most important thing when you are moving in with someone and creating a life together, is that you trust them with your heart and your feelings. Trust them to do the very best they can not to hurt you.

Because once your home is also their home, you have nowhere to run to.

She will not be giving up her security by moving in with you, because her family will presumably welcome her home again if things go wrong.
You will be giving up the security of your HA place - could you manage a private rental on your own?
