Nervous, excited, and afraid of change

My fiance graduates from West Point at the end of May. Super sweet and very smart guy.  We have been maintaining a weekend, holiday, and summer relationship for  2 years! Seems like we have been on one big fantacy date for a long time!   He treats me like a princess, but I work daily with people that know more about my faults than he does!!  I have less that two months before real life kicks in. He graduates, I quit my job, "we" move to his first duty station. Having some showers and activities with my friends before I move to the west coast and we live together for 6 months before we get married... I looked at the calendar this morning and suddenly got really nervous!

    It's normal to be nervous.

    My FI (boyfriend at the time) had only been dating for about 2 months when he moved to NYC. He moved home awhile later, and I was terrified that when he moved home things wouldn't work out, it would be awkward, etc.

    But it wasn't. It was amazing. We learned how to adjust to each other, and everything was totally fine.

    It'll work out, and it does seem like there is a lot going on in a short amount of time, just remember to breathe and take things one step at a time :o)

    It will definitely be a big adjustment - both for your relationship and your lifestyle. But place a priority on talking, open communication and being (respectfully) honest with you. Also remember that both of you will need time and space on your own occasionally, so make sure to pursue activities and friends just for you! Go to the gym, take a class, sign up for a sports league, book club, etc.

    Hey Kellster. I was also afraid of change. I met my fiance almost 2 years ago and since then, I sold my house (house that I had for years) and we recently bought a new house. We were dating for 2 years and saw each other mainly 3 times a week due to our schedules. It has been 4 months of living together and it has been wonderful. We do give ourselves time for alone time or to be with our friends (girls night out or boys pool night). Love is a leap of faith! Don't be afraid of change and remain positive.
