Moved in after 2 months

My partner has moved in with me after 2 months. Has anyone moved in so quickly and everything worked out? He is amazing! I've truly never felt like this about anyone before.

I did. We are still together 30 years later.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/10/2021 00:37

FFS, please don't say children are involved.

GirlWithAGuitar · 24/10/2021 00:37

Most relationships are amazing at the 2 month mark. Crazy idea.

Hillary17 · 24/10/2021 00:39

Yep. Moved in with my now husband after 2 months as both our tenancies we’re coming up for renewal and didn’t make sense to lock in for another year living apart. It was an adjustment because you’re still figuring each other out, but the right choice for us. We’re both very independent and have seperate hobbies & friends so still had our own space etc. Together five years. Married for 2.

He did what now?? 🤦‍♀️

Snugglybuggly · 24/10/2021 00:51

Way too soon

FartSock5000 · 24/10/2021 00:57

When the cockgoggles come off and you finally realise you let a total stranger move into your safe space, you will be in for a world of stress trying to detach from this leech.

Love bombing is a red flag. You're moving too fast and the regret will come soon enough.

Graphista · 24/10/2021 00:59

Why?! Totally ridiculous thing to do you barely know him!

He helps around the house etc too is he paying his share of bills and essentials ? Doing his fair share of chores and life admin?

No one falls in love faster than a man who needs somewhere to stay.

Ain't that the truth!!

Hobosexual??? Grin

I find interesting as always on these threads so many people seem to have moved in with someone pretty much straight away and it’s worked out and they’ve now been married for years but I don’t know anyone that’s happened to, not a single person, yet these threads make it seem so common?

Self-justification

AntiHop · 24/10/2021 01:09

Yes, me and dh! It was a bit different as we rented a flat together rather than one of us moving in with the other. It's a bit crazy looking back on it, we barely new each other! But we're still going strong nearly a couple of decades later.

DynastyBarry · 24/10/2021 01:16

We did, stayed after one date and never left, still together 30 odd years later ( and happy!)

LongBeanTime · 24/10/2021 01:17

@TurnUpTurnip

and as above, an opportunity for some to reassert their magical love story ...

... so magical, that they feel the need to post about it on the internet on a thread that is most likely to be about a mother bringing a complete stranger into her child's home, with little to no regard about the child's emotional and physical welfare.

MMmomDD · 24/10/2021 01:20

Like any new relationship - this is infatuation phase. Plus he needed a place to stay.
And like with any new relationship it can go either way after the initial fog has receded.
Neither of you know each other yet. Both are on the best behaviour. Even if his motivation isn’t driven by free lodging - you may or may not end up together.
Too early to tell

CatAndHisKit · 24/10/2021 01:24

I'm sure Op would havementioned if DC were involved, LongBean, no need to be so sarky about people's love stories, they have no reason to come and lie on here OR live in self deluasion for decades as you seem to be suggesting - they were lucky, yes, no magic as such.

viques · 24/10/2021 01:26

“He helps around the house”

Does this mean you share domestic chores fairly, ie both taking equal responsibility for the general tidiness and cleanliness of your living space, the shopping, the cooking, the washing, cleaning the bathroom, etc etc or do you mean that he will take out the rubbish if you ask him nicely and remember to say thank you darling afterwards?

Coyoacan · 24/10/2021 01:28

My ex moved in the first night and I like a fool allowed it to happen. Years later he did the same with at least one other woman.

crosshatching · 24/10/2021 01:30

Moved in together after six weeks, this was 22 years ago and we've been married for 17 of those. However, we were both flat hunting at the same time, otherwise I don't think it would've happened. We talked about it, agreed the rent and bills split and also if it didn't work out that there would be a spare room and that I would move out. We were nuts about each other, but not otherwise nutty. We knew it was a risk.

LongBeanTime · 24/10/2021 01:39

@CatAndHisKit

Hi, I meant that success stories of rapid romance are unlikely to help the OP.

I wasn't suggesting that posters are lying or delusional.

Any person that invites a stranger to move in to their home, with or without children, requires honest, experienced advice about how dangerous that is.

Emmelina · 24/10/2021 01:44

[quote Anxietytakesover]@JustKittenAround he was spending a lot of time here, had been staying at a family members, so made sense that he just moved in. I know it's quick but I enjoy spending time with him. He helps around the house etc too[/quote]
So he’s crashing with a family member, then along you come with your own place. He’s landed on his feet hasn’t he?

fantasmasgoria1 · 24/10/2021 01:48

We moved in together after 2 months, engaged after 5 months and 5 years later we are still together and love each other very much.

LongBeanTime · 24/10/2021 01:53

The posts about people moving in rapidly are of little use until the OP confirms whether they have children.

Pinkbonbon · 24/10/2021 02:14

Sounds like a love bomber or an opportunist. Or both.

Bexxe · 24/10/2021 02:17

Yes! 2 months for us and we are now 2 years down the line and happier then we have ever been 💓. Everyone’s love story is different, do what feels right

Onthedunes · 24/10/2021 02:29

So he was just staying at a families house.

That means he's older.

Many of these post where people have moved in quickly sound like first loves.

Has he been married before and does he have children.
Have you actually only known him for only 2 months or was there a period where you were friends before he went to stay with family.
