dogtown Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I'm 28 and she's 27. We've been dating for 1.5 years. I moved half way across the country to be with her. I have my own apartment and she lives with her parents. She's Hispanic, so family is very important to her. I brought up the idea of her moving out the other day and she got very upset. She claims she needs to save money and that her mother would be heart broken. I'm ok with her living with her parents, but I would like her to eventually move out. She doesn't need to move in with me, but couldn't she get her own apartment? As it stands, she won't even spend the night at my place for fear of offending her parents. I feel like we're a bit old to not be able to spend a few nights with each other. At what point would you draw the line? Do I let her go on living with her parents indefinitely?
SmileFace Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Can you imagine how much say her parents are going to have if you ever get married? Wait, she is 27? Why in the.... never-mind. To answer your question - it seems she has always lived with her parents so change can be hard .I say give her two months of her actively preparing to move in with you.If it doesn't happen or she isn't planning . You two just may not be compatible. Best of luck! Yet , you moving half way across the country to not live a s/o sounds crazy to me.
Author dogtown Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 She went to college out of state for four years and then worked out of state for a couple of years after that. We met while doing service work in South America. She has demonstrated the ability to live away from her parents. I don't mind not living with her. I only want to her to move out on her own.
