Philip and I are considering moving in together. Sure, I thought he was going to be able to stay where he is until he finished school, but no. Because of bullshit that he and I can't control. He has to get a place and wants me to move in. I want to. I mean we're together all the time anyway. We're both confident where the relationship is going. It ( Read more... )

don't let others deter you from living your life how you want to live it ( ... )

I think you have to live your own life. I also think moving in together is a really good trial ground for relationships. If it doesn't work out, OK, but at least you won't have to wonder about "what if..." On the same note, if it does work out then you will have great memories of your first times getting through domestic bliss (insert some sarcasm here).

All moms have the duty to point out the worst case scenario. Ultimately, our families raise us to have some sense, so just use what ya got and things will be fine:)

First of all, DUDE! Who the heck is Phillip??? Y'all don't tell me anything!

Second, even though I did just learn that the guy even existed, and am still learning details of the situation, if he treats you well and your relationship has progressed nicely, I see no reason why you shouldn't live together. It's worked out for plenty of people I know.

Third, you're right when you say you should be happy. If you think this decision will make you happy, then by all means do it. You're an adult now; it's time to make your own decisions. You can't spend the rest of your life worrying about what everyone else thinks. Now is when you come first.

Hope I helped. Miss you!

ALLISON.

The Mom's job is to be the Mom and do her thing, tell you to be careful, watch out, not get hurt. And you know, it's good to have that. But you also need to think about the fact that making a choice to potentially live with boy wonder is actually being independent. Sure, it's not living on your own, but it's making a choice to move your own life in a direction you are comfortable and happy with (and living alone sucks sometimes too, just for the record). Plus, if she's worried about you missing out on experiences (and, more importantly, if you're worried about you missing out on exciting life experiences), what are you doing?! Sharing space, taking a leap, making a move is another experience, another adventure... and if it's something you think you want to do, I say go for it! I'd even offer to help you move -- but I'm over here on the coast doing that whole hideous law school thing.

Do what makes you happy -- be selfish, be excited!!
