I might call it a day with my girlfriend because she won't let me move in | The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE my girlfriend refuses to let me move in with her, I’m wondering whether I’m wasting my time continuing to date her.

We are both 30 and she has her own flat.

I was renting when we first met but moved back in with my parents to save money for a place of my own because I felt things were getting serious with her.

I then suggested we live together in her apartment, but she refused, saying we argue too much when we’re together at weekends.

She’s right, but the centre of the argument is around jealousy. She gets furious when I like other women’s content online.

I got upset when she met a male friend from work for a coffee. She said it’s a friendship and he was having a crisis but I don’t like her seeing other men.

Whenever we argue, both of these things get brought up. She seems precious over her phone too.

Can we ever make this work?

DEIDRE SAYS:  Yes, if being together in the long term is what both of you want.

Have a talk and try to determine some clear boundaries about what is acceptable and what isn’t for each of you.

Liking a picture of somebody on Instagram wouldn’t be threatening to some partners but it is to others, especially if they have low self-esteem.

Likewise, seeing a friend who has some problems for a coffee would seem like a kind gesture for some, but not for others.

However, it is important to have friendships independently, outside of your relationship, as this can enrich your relationship.

It would be very boring if every couple lived in each other’s pockets 24/7.

My support pack called Relationship MOT may help you to decide what is right for both of you and to make appropriate changes.
