Michaila asks :

Hi Lucy, 

My boyfriend owns a house that I would like to move into but he has said it’s not an option. He wants us to have a fresh start. How can I persuade him that we should move in?

It makes sense that he would want to move into a new home with you. His house now may hold many memories for him of past relationships which may make it hard for him to settle down with you in it.

If you want to live together, it might be wise to channel your energies into this rather than persuading him otherwise. If he is committed to finding somewhere that both of you can live together then maybe you could start looking. You could make a list of things you both want from a property and try to find something that fits the bill and is within your joint budget.

If he is using it as a delaying tactic then at least you will know that he isn't ready to move in with you. If this is the case he may need more time.

Perhaps you have been through a break up before and wanted to rid your life of everything that reminded you of your ex. He may feel the same about his house.
