House buy sudden relationship panic

Hi everyone

Just looking for a bit of advice please as I'm not sure if the way I'm feeling is normal. Me and my partner have recently bought a house and we are getting the keys very soon. The house move stress has been causing us to argue a lot more but now I'm getting myself in a panic and doubting the relationship completely. It's not the fear of living together as we have rented a place together for a few years now, and we live perfectly fine together, I think it is the anxiety of actually owning a place together and knowing we are legally bound to this house/each other. I suddenly feel really overwhelmed and almost trapped.

Is it normal to feel this way during a house move, will this feeling go away? :(

Thanks ladies x

It can be normal and it can be a sign of relationship worries. It's hard for other people to judge!

It's a stressful process and scary to spend so much money.

Are you already financially committed to the purchase, eg exchanged in the UK? If so, there isn't much you can do other than get on with it and see how it goes.

It is one of the most stressful things in life. Think of your options for both routes you take. What is causing you the stress? Ideally talk to each other about it as they also might be feeling the same or think how they might be feeling.
