<human>: I've never posted here but here goes nothing. I've been dating my boyfriend for a couple months now, and I mentioned a few weekends ago that I could imagine us living together someday and asked if he could do the same, and he said yes. The other day he asked me to move into his apartment with him in September.

He has been in far more serious relationships than I. My longest was in college and lasted just barely over a year, and his was off-and-on for a total of 4 years, and they had an apartment together for a while before it ended. 

I'm nervous because I feel like for him this will be a nice step forward in our relationship, but for me this is like, several huge leaps forward in my life. I'll be moving far enough away from my family that I can't see them every week like I usually do (we're a small family and really close), I'll be living on my own for the first time outside of college dorm life, I'll have to get a new job, and I'll be living with an SO for the first time. 

The move isn't happening until this fall, and by then we'll have been dating for about a year. I know that when the time comes I'll be more comfortable with the idea and I have plenty of time to prepare, but right now all of these changes seem really overwhelming, and I'm scared that moving in together will hurt our relationship. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep things in perspective and prepare for these life changes?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
