I'm looking for a bit of advice. Currently my and my boyfriend are going through a bit of a rough patch (not long, the past 2 weeks). About 6 months ago my boyfriend suggested we start looking to move in together and it's only recently we've properly strated looking. The other day we found the perfect rental property and we went to put an offer in on it however he told me he thought our relationship was now unstable and I ended up having to withdraw the offer.
A bit of background - we're both in our mid 20s and we've been together about a year now. I'd say the relationship is amazing. He's caring, kind, funny, everything I want and we get on like a house on fire. However we've had a big trust issue where an ex has tried to cause trouble in the past, something we've both worked on getting over. He's been crazy about me from the start but now something seems different. I know trust is a huge part of a relationship but it takes a long time and a lot of patience to rebuild right? Everyone has rough patches and I know recently we also questioned whether the spark was still there. I truly think it is, we still have fun, we still love each other and enjoy each others company so I think it was a silly conversation to have.
I'm really worried now that because he's changed his mind about moving in together it'll mean something more. Is it just a nerves thing where it isn't the right time because of other issues or does it mean now it's real, he doesn't see a future with me?
