Guy is moving in with us. We live close and have essentially been sharing homes for quite some time. I had wanted to take it super slow and have done so. I also still don’t want to get married. I don’t think that part will change. That part is broken. He’s still patient about that and does not pressure me. I’m excited and scared to death. Is that even normal? I second guess everything now after the crap I went through. I am ready for living together, he’s a good man. It’s right and relaxing. I am just unsure if I know what I’m doing in life.

Me FBS 40s, Him XWS older than me (lovemywife4ever), D, He cheated before M, forgot to tell me. I’m free and loving life.

Congratulations!

Yes, being scared is normal.

Just don't Wallpaper over (make excuses for) any red flag behaviors.

I’ve never seen anything with him to suggest a red flag so I’m hopeful, but forever cautious. Thank you for the reassurance.

I have a pretty similar story. I officially moved in with my GF a year ago in July/August, but I did so mostly for financial reasons. I was spending way more money than I was making due to a combination of factors. I still pay the GF "rent" but it's way less than I was paying to rent my own place.

And... she's now pressuring me to get married, which I don't want to do. Most of it is just 'old wounds' from my bad marriage/divorce (~90%), but some of it is related to the relationship too.

Me: Crap, I'm 50 years old. D-Day: August 30, 2016. Two years of false reconciliation. Divorce final: Feb 1, 2021. Re-married: December 3, 2022.

Barcher, I’m not getting married either. I’m sorry you are being pressured. So far, I fear it, but he says he gets it. The one thing I refuse to do is be pressured into giving in. We should make a deal to remind each other of that.

Lala, thanks. He is my best friend. That is a fact!

Congratulations! This is big and scary, but also happy news!

And I totally get you on the marriage thing. Zero desire for that.

Thank you! Marriage is a deal breaker for me right now. I just hope he always gets me the way he has these years.

Side note: he finished moving his things today. He is renting his house to his son. He owns it so that works. I was not ready for him to just sell it… Baby steps. The sidenote part is that I was happy today with him finishing moving in. This just also happens to be the d-day from my ex eight years ago. It did not even occur to me until just now at 10:45 PM that it was the old D-day. This day used to suck and give me heavy anxiety and now it was just happy and I didn’t even think about it. I took this day back and didn’t even realize it.
