Hi, Carolyn: My boyfriend moved in with me last summer. I thought we both wanted it, but in hindsight, I think he may have been trying to give me a feeling of relationship progress without making the big leap of getting engaged.

There was maybe a three-month period where living together felt fun and exciting, then another couple of months where it felt comfortable and like we were settling into a routine, and since then it has felt like living with someone who has no interest in dating or wooing me at all anymore.
