Moving in seems to have bombed!

My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for two years and recently moved in together to see if we could commit to something long-term. Neither of us wanted to marry just yet, which is why this felt like a good test to see if we could live under the same roof. Since the move, everything that once made us a good couple has appeared to go downhill. We fight a lot, argue regularly about rent, and spend more time apart because we need to get away from each other. Does this mean we aren’t meant to be together? I don’t understand what has gone wrong because everything used to be perfect between us.
You chose to move in precisely because you both wanted to see what living together would be like. Challenges are inevitable because the nature of your relationship has changed, and because running a home is not the same as meeting once a week while living separately. You can choose to look at this as a learning opportunity and treat the difficulties as issues you can resolve together, because this is a great way of strengthening the bond you have. This can only happen if you are honest about how things stand and what you would like to change. Moving in can be a ‘make or break’ moment for many couples, but it is always love and the desire to be together that makes all the difference. Change how you look at this situation, and a lot of things may be resolved.

Can someone really be ready to marry a person after being together for just three months? My boyfriend has proposed, and I am too surprised to say anything.
Anyone can be ready at any time, but that doesn’t matter if the other person in the relationship isn’t there yet. If you’re surprised, tell him that, and ask for time to respond. If he genuinely loves you, he should have no problem waiting until you have a better idea of how you feel.
