In August I am going to go live with my boyfriend in Montana. I have not been in a relationship like this for nearly fifteen years. I am not sure I recall all the ins and outs of a happy harmonious relationship. I am asking you happy coupled people out there to comment on what you feel are some the most important things to keep in mind and to not forget to do for my significant other to be. Let's try not to be too negative okay? Thanks.

Hey celtic! First of all, everyone's realtionships are very
different as you do know! What is right for one may not be
right for another! You need to feel the relationship out and
decide what you feel is right for the two of you. Nobody can
tell you what is or isn't right. It is all up to the two of
you to decide. It will be strange at first, like all "live in"
relationships are. When my bf moved in I had been living in
my apartment for a very long time and it was a major adjustment
for me to get used to having him living here and for him too!
It took almost a year honestly for us to get things to gel
for us to really be in sync with everything! It is not an easy
thing to do sometimes. It's a big step. Maybe for you it will
be easier because me an my bf had other problems to start with.
My advice is listen to your heart and head and got with what
you and your significant other feel, don't listen to anyone!

Yes listen to your heart and head. Less stress as you will have extra time to spend together and bond and just chill out with each other.
Everyone needs a second chance at happiness and we should grap it when it comes along as it don't always come along very often

Thanks I appreciate it. We are both retired so that helps. Less stress I am thinking. It will take a while. We will have known eachother about six months and we are VERY compatible. I am excited.

hmmmmmmmmmmm well If he works get up with him in the mornings and fix lunch for him.
Kiss him when he leaves and when he comes home.
I used to set in yard and wait for him to come home and greet him
DONT try to change him wont work and Dont let him try to change you as you are you and he is he and thats what you liked about one another when ya get together.
Do most things together.
I owuld ask my hubby all about his work so I knew most of what he did. I could even go to job sirte and see for myself!
Never go to bed mad my grandma told me this and it worked pretty good.

Thank you. You have some very good points. I will be doing most of these things. We will work together atleast some of the time. Ya, when we quit doing most things together then I will feel there is a problem. That is very important to me. I agree on the not going to bed mad. Also visiting him at job site and not feeling like I shouldn't. I want to feel comfortable and like neither of us is hiding anything from the other. Thanks again, my friend.

oh iam so happy for you
my late hubby and i met late in life like that and he was the best guy i ever knew. we were always up front with each other and loved and lived with a live and let live attitude. we never changed after we moved in together and didnt try to change each other. we never argued. if we couldnt discuss something reasonabley, we waited until we were calm enough to do so.i wish for you this same kind of happiness.

Your response touched very much. Thank you for the nice wishes. I hope so too. He is a dear and I feel very special to have been chosen to be apart of his life. I agree with everything you said. So important to treat eachother with respect. We have already had afew argumentative discussions but they came out pretty well. I can hardly wait until mid August when we will finally be together. Yahoo! Thanks again for your kindness.
