I've been with my boyfriend for a year now and we want to move in together within the next year. I wanted to know other's opinion on this because I don't want my parents freaking out when I tell them. Advice from teenage parents would be greatly appreciated.
(I'm 19 years old, 20 in March, if that helps)

The answer is easier than you think.
When you BOTH are working and can support yourself all by yourself, and you want to live together because you love each other, but do not NEED the other financially. If you are best friends, and want to be together even when you are not having sex.

The perfect time to move in is (probably) never. Moving in is often, if not always, a compromise between one person who wants to get married and one person who does not.
So what would your relationship be like if you did not move in? Would it still be great? Then good. If not, then why are you moving in?
Moving in makes breaking up so much harder. Breaking up is hard enough when you live separately. Never going to break up? Ready to commit for a lifetime? Get married.
All that said, people live together all the time. Even if its always a mistake, perhaps its a mistake that needs to be made sometimes. The important thing in life is to learn from your experiences and never commit your life to a mistake. That is, don't get married just because its the next step after living together and seems easier at the time than breaking up.

if you have known this guy for over a year and dating him for about the same time then thats ok. if you have brought him around the family then thats ok too, maybe your parents dont really know him thats why they might freak out.good luck.

well hypothetically ask your mother how long did her and tour father date and then slip it in how long before they moved in together and when she tells u wait 1 day after that and then she has nothing to say.
