pinkFirm Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Last week me and my family got in a huge arguement. My brothers and sisters are all married and well-off. I am the youngest and im 23 years old and im the last one to live with my mom. Currently my oldest brother wants for me to work full-time to support my mother. I dont want to do that because I want to finish college. I want to work part time and go full time to college beacuse next year ill be a Junior. My brother yelled at me to get married and move out! I dont want to get married until i finish college. I have a boyfriend of going on 4 yrs in November of on and off. Lately, we spend a lot of time together and we have decided to move out and rent an apartment. I am a little scared because what if we break up then i will be left alone and i cant come back home at all. My boyfriend is very generous and understandable person who tells me that he will support me on whatever i decide to do. I am very confuse and need some advice if i should go on and move out with him or stay with my mom to help her with bills?
norajane Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 College first - that's THE best thing for your future. Who cares what your brother wants you to do - it's not his life! Why does your mother need you, or anyone else, to pay her bills? Don't move in with your boyfriend for financial or practical purposes. You should only move in together if you really, really want to live together. If you feel the need to move out, find an apartment with a rommate. I'll bet your college has listings of other students who need roommates. A place with 3 or 4 of you might be the least expensive option for you.
