3 w. ago My boyfriend wants us to move in together – but I need my independence and his dog won’t let us have sex

I used to struggle with living alone, but now I’m thriving. Should I give it all up?My boyfriend and I are in our late 50s. He never married and doesn’t have kids, while I am divorced with two grown-up children. We each have our own place near to each other but he very much wants us to move in together.

Patients were convinced that their symptoms had something to do with the deer that roamed the nearby woods and the ticks they frequently found clinging to their clothes. But because the symptoms were so ill-defined and there was no treatment, physicians dismissed the symptoms as psychosomatic.Then in 1975, alarmed by the exceptionally high rates of juvenile arthritis in Lyme, the Connecticut health department decided to investigate. It took seven years but eventually, in 1982, they identified a spiral-shaped bacterium in the midgut of deer ticks that was also present in the blood of sick people. All it took to spark the disorder was for an infected tick to latch on to an unsuspecting victim and inject the bacterium under their skin....
