LIW introduction - I have no friends in this position.

[daydreamer]

Hi ladies -

Reading this forum for the last month or so has been wonderful. I can so relate to everyone''s experiences. I have no friends who are LIW - they are all either long married or solidly single. I don''t want to make my single friends feel bad, and the married ones are no longer that interested. It''s so frustrating, but I understand. We''re in our late 30''s and so it''s not like people around us are getting married left and right, but I think I''m still allowed some excitement, right?

Anyway, we''ve been together 2 1/2 years, are moving in together in 4 weeks (I''m very nervous as I''ve never lived with a SO) and about 6 months ago there was a shift in his attitude from marriage being a serious/scary step to being excited about our future together. He is extremely excited about living together and views it as a step in our relationship towards marriage. I am hoping we''ll get engaged this summer and married by next summer. I guess we''ll see.

Yay!

You''re in a very exciting place in your life! and you know we''re all here cheering for you! Welcome to PS...hopefully your stay in LIW is short and sweet

Yay! This is great! I''ll be 40 in August, so you''re not alone hun.

Most of my friends are either married, or long-term living together. I know what you mean.

Welcome!

Your situation sounds wonderful. I did the test run w/ my DH (before he we married) really sealed the deal for me after living together. It is wonderful that he is looking at this as the exciting step that it is.

It is soooo exciting to be moving in with your SO. All the best of luck and may your stay on LIW be extra short!

Just wanted to welcome you to PS!
