Funf Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm moving out of my parent's house and into an apartment in a few months. My boyfriend and I plan on cohabitating there. His parents aren't very involved in his life so it won't be a big deal with them. But it's a different story with my parents. They're always trying to involve themselves in my decisions and are traditional in regards to living arrangements, marriage, etc. My boyfriend and I have been discussing this living situation for quite some time so it's nothing that we're doing spontaneously. It will also be beneficial for us to live together for financial reasons. I could tell my parents that when they find out but I doubt that will be good enough for them. I don't need their approval for everything but it would certainly make my life easier if they saw things my way for once. What could I do? (Edit: I'm 21+ and will be paying my own rent) Link to post Share on other sites
Minnie1102 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I am having the same type of problem. my parent's don't approve of my boyfriend and are giving me so much **** at home for it. so i want to move out. first i decided to move with one of my friends so my parents wouldn't completely disown me, but none of them can do it. you should try that. try finding a friend (girl) to move in with. If not, then I guess just try talking with your parents. Be sincere and tell them why you want to move out. Personally i don't think bettering your financial matters is a good reason to move in with your boyfriend. If you truly feel you are ready and are doing this for good reason, then just do it. Try to explain to your parents without getting loud and obnoxious about it. the more mature you are the more they might be willing to respect your decision. but before any of that, ask yourself why you want to move out. ask yourself if you are ready. and ask yourself if you believe you will be with this guy forever. If you are just ready to move out but am not sure about the guy then just get your own place. don't cause family problems if you aren't 100 percent sure this guy is the one. I think that is the best bet. Link to post Share on other sites
