Good luck with that one.
I am afraid that there is no other way but to just spill it...

I'm not too sure how old you are but if you feel you are responsible and mature enough to do so, then go for it.
Your parents are just trying to make sure that you stay happy and don't want to see you get hurt.
If you have the slightest feeling that what you're doing is not right, then you shouldn't move in with your boyfriend. But if you don't see yourself without him and are ready to face hard times, then more power to you!
Hope everything works out!

Just tell them you have made your decision even if they are concerned it's your life and they will eventualy see that. Try to remember though that the majority of couples who live together before they are married do not work out in the end so statisticaly the odds are against you. That being said good luck I hope whatever you decide is wonderful.

good luck! i got in an argument over that with my mom the other day, because my bf has pretty much moved in, and she likes him, but she thinks were spending too much time together, and she worrys my college homework will suffer, maybe they will realize that your responsiable and you can handel this, you gotta get out on your own and figure out how things work, you need that experiance, and if it fails, regardless if they are overprotective, they still will love you and take you back in. You should have a nice sit down dinner with your bf, and talk to them about it, plan everything out, they are going to want to know answers, to how your gonna afford everything ect.. parents are like that.

Just calmly inform them that you are moving in together. That you love him and are going to take this step to see where it goes. Just tell them that you're asking for their support, not their permission. Be sure to tell them that you understand their concerns, but you feel you must do this and ask them to trust your decision. When telling them this, you need to be calm and mature. If you throw a fit when they begin to voice their disapprovement, then they have a point. If you can't have a mature conversation with them, then you're not mature enough to move in with your bf. If you keep it together, they'll be more impressed with that and won't be so hard on you. Good luck!!

It depends on how old you are. If your over 18 than you have to stand up and point out to them that you are now an adult and that by law they have no say in what you do.

Are you living with them now? If so, its going to be pretty uncomfortable. No easy way around it. Best move is to be open, honest and calm. Direct is always the way to go. They may surprise you.

Dont. They will try to stop you. What you should do is just move in and then tell them. They will tell you that your making a big mistake and that you shouldnt move in with him because you two arent married.

Have you considered marriage?
If he's good enough to move in with
He should make a good husband.
Have you considered children.
What if he's only in it for the milk.
If he loves you, he'll marry you.
And I think your parents would be overjoyed.
Unless he's a looser.
