I have been with the husband for ten years, married for the last six. It's an extremely happy marriage, he's gorgeous and my soul mate.
The thing is we have never lived together.... strange I know, half of you are thinking thats terrible, and the other half are thinking it sounds like the perfect marriage! Not only do we not live together, we live 150 miles apart!
Next month we are going to move in together. My children are all grown up (the reason for me not moving six years ago, long story) so now the time has come. I'm a little worried that things won't work out, as we are both so used to our own space! He has never lived with anyone but his parents, and I've been a single parent for 12 years.
Has anyone had a similar situation to this? How did things turn out? Any encouraging words that might dispel my worries??
I am looking forward to us being together of course, I just don't want the lovely bubble to burst!

You'll probably have to deal with some difficult times and adaptation issues while changing suddenly from living alone to living together.
There are habits of each one and you will have to try learn live with or slowly change / forget ..
But I think the power which have kept you together 10 years will support both of you to move forward and have a happy life

I hope so! The time is drawing ever closer, and whilst I'm not exactly having second thoughts, the thought of not moving has fleetingly crossed my mind. I'm leaving the place I have lived for my entire life, and giving up my job to go back to college. Everythings changing massively and I'm a bit scared tbh! Seems silly as I'm 41 years old and a big girl now!

You guys will have alot to learn about each other and what each other likes. You will see two houses come to one with probably alot of furniture you both will have to talk over and decide on waht to keep and what to donate. This might cause a little ster at first but im sure everything will work its way out of course. I also think that you will be cooking as the wife and let him taste your cooking and see how that of course goes for the both of you. Of course he might be a neat freak or you might be and he might not be and that might bug him so there is some learning to do with each other but knowing each other for 10 years you should know alot about him already. Im sure you both have done visits to each others houses so you know what each other does like and how each other does live but living together wont be so stressfull as you will just learn to live with each other thats all LOL.
