Finally living on my own!!

Your situation is also the same here in the Philippines. I got married last year, I only moved out of my parents house a few weeks after that, but had to move in a couple of months later as my husband had to stay overseas for a few months. Eight months after our wedding we finally moved in to our new home :)

I understand that circumstances and customs dictate the path you follow. I was actually 21 when I left my home. My husband and I married when I was 20, but he was overseas in the military for a short term of duty and I couldn't join him until he returned to the states. You will love being on your own with your husband. It will give you a chance to form the bonds that make a good marriage and family of your own. Being on your own and making your own decisions gives you the feeling of being independent and grown up. I do admire your custom of caring for elderly parents in your country. So many of our families are spread across the country, that most seniors here end up in retirement homes or assisted care living facilities. God Bless you both and may you have a very happy life together!
