My partner of almost 5 years has just moved into my house a week ago. I’m now having doubts about our relationship and if all this will work. Before he moved in we rarely saw each other, we would go weeks without seeing each other and I’d be ok with that. Normally couples miss each other when they don’t each other for a few days. Things he does annoy me too and he is always complaining about the littlest of things and I’m thinking, ‘is this what it’s going to be like?’. I don’t know if it’s just me that’s feeling this. He’s away to moved doctors and we are both on benefits so we have to go start a joint claim so everything will be changed. Is it normal to be feeling like this?? However my 6yr old son adores him and I’m worried about that. Also the fact my partner is from a different city so has no friends or family here and gave up his flat to move here. I feel bad for feeling all these emotions but I don’t know if it’s normal. What do I do?

Why are you both on benefits? But I would throw this one back.

Well he’s on benefits due to disability (chronic pain) and I’m still on it after having my son but I’m looking for work that fits around my son

It seems strange to move in with someone you rarely saw.

It's hard enough to move in with someone you know well, let alone someone you only saw every few weeks.
