She Is Raging
Refugee
Curious as to what your thoughts are... as I know that some of you are in this situation. See here's the thing. I've been been with my boyfriend for quite some time now, and he keeps bringing up the idea of moving in together at the end of the year when his lease is up - he doesnt want to move home or pay the rent by himself, and i've been looking for a roomate. Now I'm not opposed to us living together - I'd like to actually. One of us is usually at the other's apartment each night anyways. In other ways it would be great too, an example being is we could stop paying two rents and save for a house or something else down the line. The big issue is, my parents. I'm an independent adult and I know that, but my parents are very traditional and catholic, and I know that this would a huge issue for them. While many people are telling me not to let what they say affect my decision, I cant help but let it. They've never asked much from me and their opinion does matter. Now I also let my boyfriend know that it would make a difference if we were engaged beforehand, but I dont want him to feel pressured into doing something before he was ready/wanted to just so that we could move in together, because I'm in no rush here either. It's just something that I cant stop thinking about. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? Am I being a wimp? Any suggestions or experiences are much appreciated, thanks -
