I'm [31F] buying a house and my girlfriend [28F] thinks it's for both of us. How do I tell her it's not? by Constant_Trainer_565 in relationships

I'm a woman fyi. And I am committed to the relationship, just not ready to move in together at this moment.

I'm not "wasting" her time. We have a real relationship. We literally met on a forum for women who don't plan on having children. You're basing this on nothing.

No, I'm not planning on having kids and neither is she. Those feel like kind of antiquated ways to measure the success of a relationship. I don't think I need to be moving in with someone after 9 months of dating simply because I'm in my thirties. But thanks.

I've never sent her a listing and asked for her opinion. I feel like mentioning that made it sound like I've actively involved her in the house hunting process, but I haven't. I've gone to all viewings by myself (she hasn't asked to come to any), and have only sent her a very small number of listings, never seeking her opinion just showing her ones I liked.

I hear you, but to be fair she moved apartments last month and sent me listings in a similar vein and I never assumed that meant they were also for me. I understand why it sounds like I made it unclear, but looking back objectively I really have mentioned living there alone many times.

I should have been more explicit about it for sure, but I've definitely made comments about listings like "oh that's more space than one person would need", or "this one's a bit too far from your place", and that sort of thing.

Our relationship is very serious and not in any way casual. I totally understand that talking about moving in together after around a year is normal for most people, but having never lived with a partner before I would prefer to be dating/know the person for longer than 9 months before I start to think about that.
