Boyfriend Getting Cold Feet About Moving In Together?

Dear Michelle Valentine,
My boyfriend of two years and I are supposed to be moving in together in February; however, instead of being excited about it… I am becoming increasingly nervous over the situation. I wish I could say that I was the one getting cold feet but, unfortunately, this is not the case. The whole “moving in together” thing was his idea and I have been nothing but optimistic about our future residence…. that is… until now. Whenever I bring up the move to him (which is not very often as I don’t intend to nag him) he seems to change the subject or say, “Whatever is meant to happen will happen,” or, “Whatever I choose…I hope I make the right decision.”
I don’t know what he means when he says such things but every time I ask him to clarify he changes the subject. The big “move” is a month away and I am at a loss as to what I should be doing. I love him very much and I have planned my whole life around this move with him. What do you think is going on with him? What do you suggest I do? 
Please help!

Sexless Marriages and Relationships - normal???

Had to read the recent article in Everyday Health about "Sexless Marriages and Relationships" and if they're normal. The article states that "as many as 40 million Americans in romantic relationships scant on sex — and some of them are perfectly happy with it."
 

This reminds me of the character in the TV show, Frasier, where Niles seems to be unattracted to his wife. Their relationship is based more as friends than lovers. At one point, you are led to believe Niles married Maris for her money (yet in one episode it is revealed he truly loves her)... and yet, he is completely attracted to another woman (and has no problem with his displays of attraction towards her). Mostly, the viewers are led to believe they have a sexless marriage. Is Niles truly happy? It seems he is content, but not "over the top" happy in his marriage.
 

In my intense, full-day coaching sessions for couples, I find that men contact me for Couples Coaching due to lack of sex in the relationship, whereas the women contact me for Couples Coaching due to lack of communication in the relationship. I help both individuals learn to communicate - which in turn creates a happier, sexier marriage!
 
 
Realistically, a sexless marriage or relationship can only be normal if they both think it is, and they are both happy about it.

Do's and Don'ts of TDTM

Poison - Talk Dirty To Me (Studio Version)
This week's TV show discusses "sexting", as featured during the the "Dear Michelle Valentine" advice segment. Michelle Valentine and her panelists answer a question from a viewer, and talk about "sexting" and religious views from one of our panelists regarding her choice of "no sex before marriage". An interesting article was posted on FoxNews.com: The Do's and Don'ts of Sexting.

Do you know what TDTM stands for? (Hint: It's also a song title by the rock band Poison, featuring Bret Michaels, lead singer and winner of the Apprentice reality TV show). Speaking of Poison, their music was always so fun... I used to sing in a local rock band in Detroit, and we covered Poison's song, "Unskinny Bop". One of the lines in the song is "What's right and what's wrong?" Let's get the skinny on you and find out what's right and what's wrong...

What are your views on the topic of "sexting"? Is this something you do/have done? With whom?

Our brains have special neurons that help us find eachothers lips in the dark. (Glow-in-the-dark kisses!)
 
Strange Kissing Laws
There are many strange laws regarding kissing that are still on the books. In Indiana, it is illegal for a man with a moustache to "habitually kiss human beings". And in Hartford, CT, it is illegal for a man to kiss his wife on a Sunday. (Jail time for kissing?)
 
Healthy Kissing
Kissing helps reduce tooth decay because the extra saliva helps clean out your mouth. If you're not kissing all day long, visit a dentist! Receive a $50 Gift Certificate to Smiles By Design! You will get such a beautiful smile, you will want to kiss Dr. Karl Rayan!
