I've been dating my boyfriend for a couple of years, and things are going great. We both decide it's time to take the next step and move in together. However, I start to wonder why some people choose to get engaged before making this move. Is there a reason for that extra commitment before sharing a home? If you've been through this or know someone who has, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Why get engaged before moving in?

This might be because of mindset and taboo, that its not entirely physical or a less serious thing, so to make it official people engage and then live in to reduce the stigma, but its not a hard & fast rule

I think it's a couple's choose to get engaged or not. It's not necessary to get engaged first and th3n move in.

It's not about the extra commitment but the society we live in. People see non wed couples as criminals today

There is a lot of stigma around live in relationships that can cause misconceptions among people whether it is required or not. It can act as a trial run and make sure you both have the compatibility right and are adjusted with each others living styles before getting married or engaged.

Embrace love in all its colors and empower acceptance - because nobody should be judged for their sexual orientation, rather celebrated for flourishing as their true authentic selves. Appu upvotes 30 coto gain

I have been together with my bf for more than 5 years now. We started dating when we were in our college. Now we both are settled in our career. I think this is the right time to propose him. Do you think it is too soon to propose? Pls advice

i think from my experience, you should clear on your thoughts regarding needs and requirement from marriage and weather he accept it also, then it will easier for you later on to maintain happy relationship

SwastiGenztherapist・2d

I think it will be better to first ask him his future goals and how he see relationship in near future, try to understand his and your vision together, and then maybe asking a mutual friend take this step, all the best

For the past three months, my relationship with my best friend has been changing inexplicably. He's been avoiding me, and on May 11th, I caught him with another girl. Shockingly, I learned they've been together for over eight months. This revelation shattered my heart, and yesterday, he officially ended things between us. Is it advisable to move on swiftly from such a painful situation, or is it better to wait before attempting to move forward?

Its advisable that you first accept how hurt and betrayed you are right now, first you lost a meaningful bond, then you faced betrayed and trust issue and also such seperation of him without knowing and understanding how you feel can be a difficult situation to be in, I suggest first you understand you are hurt and you also need social support, try connecting with more people, slowly try to move on, be honest with how you feel and don’t rush,i hope you get some good friends ships in near future

Hi dear, I know you must feel physically and emotionally drained and I wish to tell you that you don't have to go through this alone. A suggestion from my side is that don't try to find logical answers when you are emotionally overloaded. kindly give yourself time and space to feel all the emotions you are going through now without resistance or judgements. When you are able to calm down you will be able to choose what is best for you. Join coto love sessions to help yourself. Love, Arthi Sujai Coto Mental Health Expert.

Hi i am a clinical psychologist. I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. It sounds incredibly painful and confusing. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and understand that they are valid. His on-and-off behavior is emotionally exhausting, and setting clear boundaries is crucial. Let him know that checking in every few months is not acceptable if you are to move on. Prioritize your well-being by doing stuff that makes you happy. Reflect on what you need and deserve in a relationship, recognizing that a partner who doesn’t offer emotional support and views your needs as complaints may not be compatible with you. If his intermittent check-ins are preventing you from moving on, consider cutting contact completely to help you heal and find closure. Remember, you deserve a relationship where your needs are met and you feel valued and supported. Hope I see you in a live session to talk more.
