JoeSargent Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Hi all! I'm looking for a bit advice. I'm currently in an amazing relationship with a woman (I'm 29 and she's 28). We're both absolutely crazy about each other, but we're facing some life changes that are making me a little trepidatious. We've been seeing each other for four months, and practically been living together for three. We would move in together in a heartbeat, except she's moving out of town next month to pursue a PhD. We've both indicated that we want to continue our relationship, and have begun planning for me to find a job somewhere closer to where she'll be by the end of the coming academic year. Though we'll be able to see each other about once or twice a month, we're looking at a long distance relationship of a minimum of 7-8 months. I know we love each other, but there's a part of me that would rest easier with some kind of symbol of our commitment. Is this strange? I realize it's too soon for an engagement, but I'm thinking of giving her a nice piece of jewelry to indicate the seriousness of my commitment to her. What are your guys' thoughts?
PegNosePete Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 My thoughts are that 4 months is WAY too soon to be making that kind of commitment. You guys moved in together after 1 month of dating? You're nuts.
Mr. Lucky Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I know we love each other, but there's a part of me that would rest easier with some kind of symbol of our commitment. Is this strange?

I agree with PNP - too soon. Look at it this way - what would the jewelry represent that a spoken agreement wouldn't cover? And conversely, were she not interested in sticking to the agreement, don't think the trinket would bind her. How about a small thoughtful gift that relates to her field of study? Mr. Lucky
