sammi star agony auntIt's quite natural that you feel this way now the time has come and your mother is actually leaving. It'll probably take a while to get used to not having her around but you've made the right decision, you and your husband need to start your married life by yourselves, with your own space and privacy.

Blueyedgirl's idea is a great one, get together often with your mother so she knows that her moving out doesn't mean your close relationship will change.

blueyedgirl agony auntThere is nothing wrong with you wanting to have your privacy. Being a newlywed can be hard/stressful enough with out having another person sharing your space. That doesn't mean that you don't love your mother. Your mom probably understands that, but you can reinforce it by making a point to get together with her for lunch, go shopping, call her for advice about something, or whatever. Just so she knowes that while you want your privacy, that doesn't mean you are trying to shut her out of your life. Then make the most of your privacy and no need to feel guilty. :-)Good luck, and congrats on the marraige!
