A bit nervous. I bought a house with my long distance girlfriend of two years, we move in this coming Friday. We had multiple visits (some months long), and the house is like 92% in my name with an exit strategy for me to buy her out if we split so I’m not jumping in blindly or anything but I was ready to try something more serious.
I should be happy and excited, I worked damn hard and saved for years but I’m mostly just worried that since we both work from home it’ll be too much of a good thing.
I’m assuming it’s mostly the stress of getting the house and all the paperwork and crap but it’s still an important worry to work through. I hope you guys are hanging in there, all the best.
Some people work together well. My husband and I have been married over 25 years, the last 20 years we’ve worked closely together.
It’s hasn’t been perfect 100% of the time, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
You just have to figure out conflict resolution AND how to respect when one of you needs downtime (we are both mostly introverts that need to recharge sometimes)
That’s reassuring, thank you.
She has agreed to do a couple sessions of couples therapy with me after we move in to help establish a solid foundation for living together and get used to communication before there’s anything stressful to communicate about.
She’s coming from a household with pretty garbage communication styles so I’m hoping it helps her reset so to speak and get a fresh start.
