If you want my honest advice about the whole situation, this is how I see it. You guys have obviously gotten past the whole honeymoon phase and now it's on to maintanance which anyone who is or has ever been in a relationship can probably say with certainty that it is the hardest part. I think that the whole moving in thing might not be what's in your best interest right now. I realize that it's doing Scott a tremendous favor, but if you're wondering why you're getting into so many "married couples" fights is because u pretty much are like married couples right now. Living together with someone will totally change the way u view them, how they view u, and just generally how u two interact. All my friends are great, but I think I would end up hating them if I had to live with them. This is especially true in dealing with significant others. When u're together 24/7 it kind of takes away the excitement of going to their place, or spending a weekend alone together. Maybe that's a reason he's been so unresponsive and non-romantic to u? Every relation will have it snags and pitfalls, that's what strengthens u in the end. With that said, I don't know about u, but when I get angry at my significant other, I prefer not to be around them for awhile, not just because I am mad at them, but because I tend to cool off and have a chance to look at things. When you're living together u don't have that luxury, u don't want to put yourself in a situation where it's like u are mad at them, or they are mad at u, but u don't want things to be so akward so u try to fix them at any cost, even if it means the solution u presented is just a quick fix.

Bottom line: "Call me an idealist or a romantic or whatever, but what else would you need in a relationship BUT love?" COMMUNICATION, not trying to say that ur relationship has none, but dont assume stuff here. "As far as I'm concerned it's "saying it" without saying it">Like here just say what needs to be said, don't beat around the bush. Above all just really think about the whole moving in, if it's something u guys want to continue. IF the worst were to happen, what then? Discuss it with one another, knowing that it has it's pros and cons.

Well that's it, that's pretty much a mini essay right there, but yeah, my thoughts of the top of my head. Choose to heed them or not, just know that they are out there.
