hi, please advice me. I would like to move in with my bf but the problem is I cannot leave my mom. Do you think this is a good idea for me. Im quite young but I want to be more independent. I want also to learn. I cannot do this at home because my mom has a tendency to spoil me. Do you think moving in with my bf is a good idea for me to learn new things?

I think you should certain whether your boyfriend is a responsible man or not, if he is a responsible man, you should certain there is something on him that is worth be learned. If you certain the two points above, you can do what you want to do, but remember you should go back home to see your mother several times a month, you leave from her, she'll miss you.

Hi.
I don't know how you can say that you will be more independent living with your boyfriend and will be able to learn more with him, but if that is the case then move on.

Go ahead, move in with your boyfriend. Make sure you are close to your mom in her hour of need.

I think it is a good to be more independent...whether or not you are staying with your boyfriend...
You will need your own space sooner or later...So, it is best to move when you think you can...
Don't worry too much about your mom...Most parents would understand and it is not like you are ditching your mom for good...You are just living your life somewhere and learning to do things on your own...
You can still visit your mom whenever you have the time....it is surely beneficial for both you and your mom...

Im having a hard time dealing with my mom in this case. Shes not really in favor of living in. Me, personally I would like to know more my bf before marrying him. You see, my mom and dad are separated and my mom is depressed. Though, she have accepted it. Im thinking that maybe she would think that im leaving her again just like my dad did to her.

please dont do that.. you just dont know what your parents feel if you will do that.. what you feel right now towards your boyfriend is just part of your youth, dont make it too serious girl, you will regret it someday believed me, ive been there, being single is the most part in our life, just enjoy it first and live life the fullest.. and give enough time for yourself first before giving it to somebody else,

Only you can answer that question hunny.
Everyone wants to fly the nest at some point. Moving in with a boyfrind is a very big step and one that you need to be sure of. If you cannot leave your mum, perhaps instinct is telling you something. Are you really ready to leave? Do you really want to move in with your boyfriend?
I'm sure though whatever you decide your mum will be there to help you should you need her. Good luck and remember there is no hurry and if your boyfriend is pressurising you in to making a decision he's not worth it!

i think its not a good decision to live in with your boyfriend...why not marry him?
you might just be curious about it.it better that you think about it first a lot more times....its not that easy to be in that situation.you have to learn first how to be responsible before you go into a situation of living in with your boyfriend.and think about the after effects of what you will do.because you might get pregnant while living in with your boyfriend,and its a difficult thing to be a parent these days and it needs a lot of attention and responsibility in having one.think carefully of what you are going in to.

Hi blush_blush, i think your decision of leaving mother is right. since you are in relation with this bf from long time , now you should move and know more about your bf before getting married. yes your mother will feel it for some time but as you said she has tendency to spoil you, you must move to your bf so that your mother will also get chance and time to thnik about life and you will also find space for thinking and taking decision in right direction.

If you are young then you need to reconsider things but if you think you can really handle it to be independent then you might as well talk to your mom. If you are to ask me, I will still live with my mom, spend time with her as much as possible then move out later when I am really really ready to. I am sure that mother will understand if you are in the right age to move out to be independent.
