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.

We moved in together after 4 months. His tenancy was coming up for renewal but because of Covid he was still living with his ex. He was moving out regardless and I was just going to spend a few nights a week at his. But the more we chatted the more the conversations were about ‘when we live together’, so we decided to look for a place together and that was that. We’re very happy

There is a massive difference between moving a new man into your house and co-renting a new house with your new boyfriend. The two don't compare.

And just to echo everyone else

"No one loves you more than a man who needs somewhere to live"

Mil moved in with her dp after knowing him for one week!
Tbf they are still together now, 7 years later. She's very needy though, has never lived on her own and literally goes from one relationship to another. She moved in with her exdh before that after knowing him for about a month too!

My now DH moved in with me after 2 months. He had and kept his own place but just never went home again. We've been married 18 years.

JulesRimetStillGleaming · 24/10/2021 10:33

I got involved with a man who told me he loved me very quickly and gave the impression that we had a future together.

Turns out he'd asked his wife to marry him within 6 weeks of meeting; they'd married after about 3 months and yes, they were still together and then he was love bombing me and I wasn't the first person he'd had an extra-marital relationship with.

Your bloke might be different but I'd always be suspicious of people who are consistently impulsive in relationships. In his case it was all based on fantasy, delusion and very little substance that left a trail of destruction in its wake.

Yes, I moved in with a man after 2 months.

The 6 years of domestic violence, spell in a women’s refuge and how he dragged me through the courts for 8 years to try and get sole residency of my children doesn’t make me think this is a sensible choice.

@LongBeanTime

No offence *@Bexxe* (glad you're happy) but how is that in anyway helpful?

You are offering no practical support or advice, just using the thread as an outlet for your own success stories.

The likelihood is that the OP has made a rash decision, with children, and is looking for advice, confirmation and support.

OP must have some serious doubt due to the fact that they are posting.

The OP was asking for success stories - which is what I posted.

It’s great that you feel the need to point out all the potential negative situations, I tend to be a more ‘glass is half full’ kind of person and believe life is too short to over analyse every decision. Sometimes if something just feels right and makes you happy - do it. With so much shit in the world, grab any chance at happiness you can get

DaisyNGO · 24/10/2021 11:17

Blimey.

Hopefully no DC involved and he pays you rent

Think it's daft to trust someone that much with so little knowledge of them though.

My ex moved in with me after 4 months, it worked I suppose as we were together for 14 years and did end up getting married. Everyone is different.

KatherineJaneway · 24/10/2021 14:51

@Anxietytakesover

You OK OP?

8lue8ird · 24/10/2021 15:02

I moved in much sooner than that 🤭 been together 18 years now

Just ... no. Hmm
CherryDocsInYrBalls · 24/10/2021 15:40

Predatory men often hunt online, have insecure housing, and use love bombing as a way of keeping you as supply, someone to provide for them and whilst you might think you are in a genuine relationship, with this type of man you aren't. It's hard to tell, you need to give him time to see if his mask slips, and if it does you can then end the relationship. Moving in together is dangerous if you don't know his true intentions. Look up love bombing and future faking

ChargingBuck · 24/10/2021 16:41

[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]
Yay! You've just enabled a hobosexual.

Come back to us when he's a full-on cocklodger, with you paying all the bills but somehow also doing 100% of the household drudge ...

DampSquidGames · 24/10/2021 16:48

I went on holiday with my DH after three weeks and then he moved in the next day. We got engaged three months later, married 9 months after that. We’ve just celebrated our silver wedding anniversary!

stillcrazyafterall · 24/10/2021 16:48

Yep. I had a DS. When you know, you know. Married 26 years.

LongBeanTime · 24/10/2021 17:42

"When you know, you know"

With respect, you couldn't possibly have known.

You played relationship roulette and have been fortunate.

There is simply no excuse for moving a stranger in to a child's home, but many will take that risk and create excuses to justify doing it.

Nobody want's to heart that they are being selfish and not putting their child first.

GirlWithAGuitar · 24/10/2021 17:46

When you know, you know.

You really don’t know. Humans are complex, you can’t possibly know anyone well after 2 months, it’s just not possible.

NowEvenBetter · 24/10/2021 17:48

’he helps around the house
Yet again, we see a man doing the bare minimum as ‘helping’, and a benefit. I’ll ever forget the poster who typed that she finds it attractive when a man has cleaned his arse correctly. The bar can’t get any lower.
Why not just leave your front door open and shack up with whatever random bloke wanders past? (Actually, that’s pretty much the situation in the OP 🤣)

Dillydollydingdong · 24/10/2021 17:50

He didn't have somewhere of his own to live so he moved in with you? Mumset has a word for a man like that.

userxx · 24/10/2021 17:53

Let someone move into my home after 8 weeks ? No fucking way.

ExcitedtoTry · 24/10/2021 17:55

All for it if you’re both ready for the next stage but not out of convenience.

FoggySpecs · 24/10/2021 18:25

Yes, I did. I have been with my DH for just under 14 years. We moved in quickly, I moved to his within about six weeks, I was living with a friend who he knew. He had a very stressful job which meant seeing each other was hard. It has all work out rather well. I love him.

Flixon · 24/10/2021 18:40

i did. It was a complete disaster. Damaged me and damaged my children I will never live with another man again while my children are here
