Making Decisions

I like to take things slow in relationships, at least I've felt this way for the past few years (can't speak to my more sporadic behaviour 3-4 years ago!). However sometimes things happen that force us to make decisions or have serious discussions before we may be ready. Think: talking about moving in together because someone loses their job. Or maybe moving away together because a great opportunity came up for one half of the couple...when maybe the original plan was to consider moving 3 years down the road.
I do think that if the relationship is a good one, and you really feel like he's a good match for you, you'll find a way to make it work. It is tough though when things unexpectedly come up. I feel like sometimes these big decisions, made a few months early, can risk the relationship. But, that said, if it's meant to be sometimes it's just meant to be...maybe moving in together a year earlier is a bit tougher at first but it shouldn't be enough to break a fabulous relationship.
