I'm 21, and my girlfriend just graduated from college. We have an incredible relationship together-- something beautiful and rare in which we're able to grow emotionally and professionally with ease; better than I've ever seen in a couple. We're in the same city for the summer (she's moving here permanently), but my parents disagree with our decision to live together (no pre-marital cohabiting allowed!), preferring I live with a local family member and visit her instead. My girlfriend thinks this sets a precedent of allowing my parents excessive control over my life... They're otherwise very agreeable, liberal people, but this seems to be the issue that they get stuck on. I want to live with the love of my life, but I want us to have a great relationship with my parents, as well. Should I wait until I graduate next year to move in with her? Is it better to appease my parents now in order to make things easier when I really want to move in later, or is that just faulty logic?
