Hello No Idea --

I think all of Pat's suggestions make sense.

1. Get counseling for yourself and for the two of you as a couple.

2. Nail down a diagnosis for her, and educate yourselves about it.

I have two of my own.

a. Don't rush. 3 months is not a long for a relationship. It is still "the first blush of love" as old-time poets described it. If she is your "forever love" your love will be even stronger a year from now. Couples survive years apart when a partner is, say, posted away for military service. True love can survive an hour's drive.

If you are fighting now, now is the time to get counseling and work through the issues. Moving in together will not necessarily make things better. In my experience and observation, it creates a pressure cooker and things get worse.

b. Keep some space in your lives as you build the relationship on a strong foundation that your put together by addressing issues, solving problems, and negotiating through things as they come up. Give each other some "breathing room."

And, above all, my suggestions are worth two-cents or else on the open market.

Best wishes for working things out.
