I am a 28 year old guy. I had been staying with a 28 year old girlfriend for 7 months until recently when she moved out.
I invited her to come and stay with me. We started building a life together e.g buying furniture for the house etc. She says that she doesn't want to move out but that if her mom doesn't approve she can't stay with me. I went to her mom to try and ask for her persmission but predictably she didn't want any of it.
The problem is since she moved out i have become very moody and unhappy even though she only stays 800m from my house which is part of the problem. We are both working professionals. I intend to marry this lady but right now i am in pain because i miss her presence. I wish i could spend every possible moment with her. The plan was and still is to get married in 2 years but i can't wait that long. At the same time i cannot just commit to marriage because i want to stay with her. I want to marry her when we are both ready.
Any advice on how i can get over this? Thanks
