ok so the title doesn't quite fit.. hehe
so would you ever make a life changing move like moving out on your own from your roommates for a woman?
at what point would you do this?
I'm moving from here to Australia at year's end.... does that count?
At what point do you do this?
There is no set period of time, you do it only if it feels right to you to do it.... you shouldn't be pressured into doing anything you don't want and if she can't understand that, or has no patience in waiting for you to be ready, then that should tell you something about her and your relationship with her.
Keep in mind that there's always risks and unknowns.... will your life be better living with her or will it be better to remain where you are at? If you move in with her, will the relationship change? Better or worse??
Is she asking you to move in with her? Did she bring it up? Did you bring it up?
If you're old enough to have your own place and/or to live with a room mate, then you're old enough to make this decision on your own..... if she feels compelled to continually pressure you over this or to sway your judgment, while she may have good intentions and just wants to live with you... the other aspect is that she could be wanting to use you to benefit her own situation of having a second person helping out with bills and rent.
Everybody moves at their own pace and if you're not ready, then you're not ready.
Having to ask the question in these forums and other opinions form members on when you think is a good time to move in/out, looks to me as a sign that you're certainly not sure if you're doing the right thing.
You won't know if you don't try, but also.... make sure you're not going to end up being a sucker and taken for granted.
well sorta, more like what kind of a woman would you do it for?
like would you let a woman make you do something totally not yourself?
If that's the case and she's trying to make you do something you're not ready in doing, then from my personal experience with such things.... she's being manipulative, knows you don't have a high self esteem when is comes to relationships and thinks she can make you do whatever she wants with a little bit of pressure.
If it was me, I'd be telling her exactly how I feel.... that I'm not ready to move in with her because I have concerns about her and living with her. If she's trying to control and pressure you into doing what she wants now.... just imagine what she'll be like when you're living with her.
Bad Medicine.
If she cared about you, she'd know this was out of character for you, and that you're not ready, thus she'd wait until you were ready..... if she's continually pressuring you to move in knowing all of this, then she obviously doesn't really give a sh*t about you.
My first serious relationship went a bit like that.... I was a sucker in many ways, and eventually it became a situation where I was doing everything for her, and she'd do very little for me..... She'd drink and smoke pot and cigarettes..... I just smoked pot.... she eventually quit smoking pot for a few months but still smoked cigarettes and drank.... one day she had the damn gall to tell me I shouldn't smoke pot anymore because she didn't like it...... I flipped on her ass and explained to her just how much of a damn hypocrite she was and that I'd break up with her before I agreed to that damn request..... I didn't like her smoking cigarettes and didn't care for her drinking, but I knew it wasn't my place to tell her what to do, so I'd be damned if I was going to let her do that to me.
This was also the same girl who cheated on me at least once and I was too young and too stupid to break it off right then and there..... I got suckered in thinking that since she came out and told me to my face and acted all sorry about it, after a break, I gave her another chance...... that was her sign that she could manipulate my sorry ass even more..... but it was also my sign that the end was near for our relationship.
Eventually we broke up, but we had a yearly signed contract with the apartment we were living in and for some stupid reason (I think it was money) we agreed to just remain as room mates. Things got worse from there, she'd bring home some pretty screwed up whackos and stalkers, she lived like a pig and the apartment was a total mess, acted as though it was my damn job to clean up after her or at least she'd leave it long enough to see if I'd get fed up and clean up after her (which I didn't) and it got to the point where she thought that because I was making more money then her crap ass Wendy's job, that I should pay for her groceries and such...... I fk'n laughed in her damn face and told her exactly where to go.
It just went worse from there and eventually when I started seeing someone else, she tried to meddle into that relationship, ruined much of my stuff in the apartment from her slobby'ness, and a conflict ensured where because I wouldn't let her use my sh*t anymore she demanded that my girlfriend at the time wasn't allowed in the apartment anymore.
That didn't fly and because my gf at the time was standing right there, she almost beat the living snot out of her since this had nothing to do with her........
right then and there was when I decided to tell her to take a friggin hike and gtf out of my life once and for all. I told her she had a week to pack up her sh*t and go..... I was taking the apartment since I could afford it and she couldn't and if she didn't agree, then I'd move out and she can deal with an apartment she couldn't afford.
After her dicking me around, I dicked her good in the end..... er..... :-? yeah, that's it.
Anyways, the moral of the story is don't be a douche..... don't be a chump..... I had some concerns and doubts but I didn't listen to them...... of course everybody has to take their own path and learn their own mistakes..... but make sure you're doing what's right for you, not what's right for her.
well, I've done lots for a particular gal. I am a woman pleaser! I can't say on here what that is necessarily but I love to.
Ha.... now you really sound like my younger self...... and if your situation is anything like my old situation..... you snagged a girl who knows you're a "Woman Pleaser" and is taking advantage of that.
Then again, I have no idea of your age, how long this relationship has been going on, or her intentions on why she's so adamant of you moving in.
