I'm 26 and have been with my boyfriend for a year and 1/2. We're starting to think about moving in together. I have lived on my own for 3 years before moving back in with my parents to finish my schooling w/o having to worry about rent, etc. Well, my parents have said that the next time I move out, will be the last time. I'm not going to be allowed to move back in. How do you make that leap of faith that everything will work out? I live in California, and am going to be a teacher, so it will be difficult to have just one income if things don't work out with the bf. I have NO reason to believe that they won't, but...just how do you take the flying leap into the unknown??? Suggestions? Those who have gone before? :)

That is a tough question. I suggest either waiting until you are absolutely sure you and your boyfriend are ready to move in with each other. The second option would be to try and find a "plan b". Do you have a friend that would let you move in, even just temporarily, if things with your boyfriend didn't work out. There are lots of ways to find a new place to live or even just a room to rent if it became necessary for you. Good Luck!

Stay home with your parents until you finish school. Then maybe by then you and your boyfriend would know each other well enough to get married. Don't give up your security and take a chance on losing out on your education. Spend as much time with your boyfriend as you can without neglecting your study time. Good luck with your teaching and with your private life.

Well honestly I have lived with my BF for 3 years and he did cheat on me so I dump him, he ended up leaving and I was stuck with all these bills and rent and I was going threw school as well to gain my AS degree in a Paralegal it was so hard so good thing threw my school I learned about living BF/GF and I learned about a Cohabitaion Agreement.
I was mad because he left me stuck and this was all his fault well I ended up sueing him for a breech of contract when we moved in together we had this agreement we would both combine our income together and pay the bills and he breech his duty when he left oh he was mad he ended up paying me for a whole year.
If you are interested in this agreement between you two I will send you the Agreement Form and you can read it and you both can sign it and have this form in case anything were to happen.
E-mail me and I will explain more veronica1ramirez@yahoo.com
Hope this really helped.
