A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been dating for ten months now (I am 18 and he is 19). Our one year anniversary is on my 19th birthday. Anyway; we are so in love, so incredibly in tune with eachother, and so respectful and caring of the other. He is getting an apartment in the next month or two and he really wants me to move in with him, the problem is that my family in incredibly against this, and my sisters have warned that I will be disowned if I do this. I know better, but I still am worried about the threat, and I just don't know what to do. Should I follow my heart and move in with my boyfriend or should I try to stay in good favors with the family that I have always had?

Hang on a second.

Is this your family's decision or yours? Whose boyfriend is this? It's your choice. it's outrageous that your family are being like this. Ask them who chose when they moved and and who it was with. Tell them that you are going to move in with him whether they like it or not and their support would be appreciated but if you can't have it that's fine - you're going to do it anyway. I'll tell you why. Because that's what you want to do.

Your family have no right to commandeer your life - because, like i just said, it's YOUR life, not theirs.

Tell them you would like their support and it's hurting you that they're not giving it. Because i can tell that it is.

Do what you want to sweetie, because think 10 years ahead. Which choice would you regret more?

Do your family want you to be a spinster and live with them for the rest of your life.

They should want you to be HAPPY. And a good idea would be to show them this page and show them what you have written in because knowing how you feel may shock them a bit. you can show them the answers too, because seeing how other people view the whole situation might shock them a bit as well.

Speak out and be confident, your opinion matters more than theirs at the moment because it's your choice, your life and your future. They need to get their act together, support you, stop being so God damn selfish and listen to your opinion.

Good Luck

jm81690 agony auntMove in with your boyfriend for sure.

You're a grown woman, your parents are going to need to realize that... They can't threaten to dissown you because you're growing up, you need to tell them that.

Honestly your too young to move in with a guy trust me. Plus your family is always more important. What would be best for you is move in with a girlfriend and stay over at your guys a few nights a week. I could be wrong, but i wouldn't move in with him if i were you.
