You’ve been living with some degree of uncertainty.
You’ve been with your partner for awhile. And, most of the time, things are going okay. Maybe it’s getting pretty serious. Or, maybe it’s not quite there yet. However, you’ve started to created a life with this person. There’s lots of ‘we’ and ‘us’ talk. You look forward to planning things with this person and thinking about the future. Overall, you’re pretty happy. But, before you take that big step, you just to want to be sure that it’s the best decision for you both. Maybe you’re receiving pressure from others about what ‘the right path’ for your relationship is. It must be easy for them to make decisions for a relationship they’re not in, right?
You don’t have to deal with the pressure or ambiguity alone.
