How to tell them I'm moving out?

Well, first definately do not get married before you live with someone. As crazy as it may seem living with someone changes everything. You might think you know someone, and all there little habits are cute..but when you are faced with it every single day…its not so cute anymore..and it becomes down right annoying..I think its better to know if its an annoying you can live with..or an annoying that you cant deal with for the rest of your life. I think that if you sit down with your parents and talk to them without fighting..and try to explain that things are very different now, the divorce rate is extremely high, and you know as parents who love you, they wouldnt want you to be married and then end up divorced. That this is a person you want to be with, that you feel is someone you will marry, but you just want to make sure. I guess just ensure them that this isnt a trend where you will be living with each and every boyfriend you have. Hear them out, and listen to there concerns, and of course tell your mom that you wouldnt ever forget her..she is your mother!! Also, keep in mind for yourself, that while you are in love, 6 mths isnt a very long time, and from experience I know how exciting moving into a place can be..BUT when the dust settles and you look back and remember the relationship that was once perfect..and think about how it went from that to fighting about how to prepare a salad correctly..you’ll remember the conversations you had with your parents..believe me. Whatever you decide..best wishes

… the bible??? not very good advice. actually, not at all what this young woman is asking. Besides, taking advice from a book that is thousands of years old and has no relevance in today’s society may not be the best thing to do. I understand that some people believe that this story book is the “word of God,” but not everyone believes in it and chooses to live their lives based on it. I agree with nl83. I’m in the exact same position, except I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years now. Do it and get it over with. You can’t let your parents live your life for you.
