When a Couple Moves Too Fast

Rodger—

My BF and I dated for two months and then moved in together.

I now realize that we moved too fast and should have dated longer before taking that big step. It is not that I want to break up with him, it is just that I am miserable and want to date for a while longer and only then decide if we want to move in.

In a situation like this, can a couple go backward and still survive?

Maybe yes, maybe no. Either way, you have no choice but to try going back to the dating phase because the “miserable” state that you describe yourself as being in is simply unacceptable.

So, you have no guarantee that the relationship will survive. But, then again, you have no option but to give it a try.

going back to a lower level of a relationship after you have moved to a higher level? it will never work - might as well end it now

A woman pays an enormous price for "jumping the gun". I do not believe will be successful in trying to go backward and survive.

great answer: sometimes there is no guarantee, you just have to do what you have to do and take your chances

if she is so miserable, she never should have moved in with him to begin with - this is what happesn with girls who are desperate to have a guy - she's an idiot
