I'm facing a dilemma. I've been seeing dp for 3wks, knew him for about 6months previously. He's lovely and its all going v well and v quick.

We live 25miles apart.

I'm 6mths into a 1yr career break - will need to find a new job as left old job.

I sold my house last yr (took 3yrs to sell) and have been staying with my parents since Dec, looking for somewhere to rent in their village. Just found a nice place yesterday.

I split from a very up&down year long relationship in Dec. (split had nothing to do with current dp - i didn't know he liked me and i didn't think of him other than a friend who i occasionaly bumped into)

New dp has said why bother wasting money on rent stay with me & lets see how it goes. I'll still keep some stuff at my parents.

Its not been easy staying at my parents - i'm 43yrs (no kids) and they live in a small house. I've struggled to adjust to not having my own space and my parents, though very nice, do drive me up the wall on occasion.

He is a loving generous person and i have been very cautious since we met looking out for red flags, but nothing to bad so far (rose tinted glasses??) Our first date ended up lasting 3days, & we've only had about 5 days apart since we met despite the 25miles distance. He works from home.

Do i throw caution to the wind and stay with him and see how it goes? Or should i rent 25miles away? (don't want to rent near dp - too expensive & don't know anyone)

Moved in after 3 weeks. Still together 6+ years. It's not perfect though, unfortunately.
