Attachment Model: Endgame

Time has passed in your relationship. Usually, six months to one year.

You know each other well.

You've come to rely on each other in very basic ways.

You recognize her as the person she is - imperfect, but good for you.

She feels the same.

You're attached.

When you're at the point where this is occurring, this is the time to talk about the practical matters of building a life together. And a time when you are realistically ready to talk about things like living together, marriage, and children in something other than a hypothetical way.

So... talk. See if the practicalities work out.

And if they do?

Heck, you don't need me anymore. You're on your own. :-)

Final thoughts on the attachment model tomorrow.
