💓❤️ When one partner is afraid, best to take it one step at a time. Have the honest check-in conversations along the way.

I went through this and it took a few years until both of us reached the point when we knew it was for both of us. As for family, if you chose to move in together, cross that bridge when you get there. You have to live your life for you, not them. (((Hugs)))
