My Partner Won't Move In—Is My Relationship Doomed? 😢🏠

Lately, I've been feeling so lost. I'm in my mid-40s, a single mom to a 10-year-old, and I own my home. My partner, who's in his mid-50s, still rents and refuses to talk about moving in together. Every time I bring up the future, he shuts down or gets upset. I can't understand why he won't take this next step with me. Selling my house to move into a rental just doesn't make sense, and he can't buy a place with me since he has no deposit. When I ask about his past, he gets vague and tells me to drop it. It's starting to weigh on me, and I feel stuck between wanting a future together and protecting my daughter's stability. Has anyone else been through this? How did you handle it? I just need some advice from someone who gets it. 💬 #RelationshipStruggles #BlendedFamilies #HomeOwnership #FamilyRelationships
