Do we move in together right now or not? My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years, and we know we'll eventually get married. A situation has come up where he needs to decide to move out of his mom's house, and within a month. He was going to move out with his brother, who totally bailed on him, so he's on his own now. None of his friends are needing a place, so that option is out as well. I'm not happy where I'm at, and would enjoy moving elsewhere too. I've heard you can only successfully live with a partner 2 different ways: the first is to live together but never get married, or the second is to only move in together when you get married (or during engagement if the situation is beneficial). What should I/we do? I can't stand him living at his mom's anymore. She's Mormon and doesn't let us sleep together(and gets pissed if he comes to my place). I know, its stupid, but its her house rules and he's been respectful to her enough to obey them, as she's been letting him live there for free. Getting a place on his own is pretty expensive so he's not sure he wants to do that, but is open to it. I'm sick of not spending the nights with him whenever we want, and so is he. I'm lost, and we have to come up with something quick. Any advice?
Update: November 10, 2009. Thanks for everyone's advice. His mother may be Mormon, but we are nowhere near. No mission to wait for, nothing else to wait for, except for moving in together. I decided to not move in with him until we at least get engaged. He's currently looking for roomies to move in with in the SLC area, so if anyone knows of anyone needing a roomie, let me know! :) - Asked by A Thinker, Female, 18-21 |
