In the context of a long-term relationship, a woman is grappling with her boyfriend's desire to move in together. Despite her previous eagerness, she treasures her independence and has built a fulfilling life post-divorce. The letter highlights her aversion to shared living arrangements, particularly due to issues like her partner’s dog disrupting intimacy, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing her own needs and boundaries. A therapist advises her to reinforce her self-sufficiency, to communicate her feelings genuinely, and to be prepared for the potential outcome of losing the relationship if necessary.
