I am a 24 y/o with a situation. I am about to move out of my parents house in with my Boyfriend. My parents are very traditional, and I think they will have a problem with it. I am planning on moving with or without their support, but I want to know what's the easiest way to break the news. Thanks!

I would sit them down..and say to them that I love you..and you have taught me well..but I think that it is time for me to be on my own and continue to grow as person..I promise that I will try my best not to disappoint you guys..
Its always hard for parents when their girls meet a guy and move out..but they should also understand that you need to grow and experience things.
good luck

I understand where you come from. When I was living with my parents, I still had a curfew of midnight and I was 23. I explained to my parents that I was a mature, and responsible adult and that they needed tro trust me. I had never given them any reason not to.
Just simple state (if this suites you and your situation) that you and your boyfriend are commited to each other, yet you are not ready to take the step towards marriage. You would like to keep an open and honest realtion with them, and contuine to have their love and support. Let them know that their values are the same idea bases for yours, but are just are adpated to the change in society.
And if they try to say well, how do you know that it will work with you and the boyfriend, simply tell them... that you can not swear to be together forever, becuase you can not predict the future, but you commit 100% to making it work.
I hope this helps!

Just tell them that you've thought it through and you think it's the best thing for you. And you are going to move with or without their support but you wanted to come to them first. They will be upset for awhile but they will eventually get over it. Good Luck!

Your 24 do what you want. Just tell them you know how they feel. But its your decision now. And besides I dont think you care because you said you were going with or without their support.

I really think you shouldn't do it. I guess at some point in life we all probably disappoint our parents but I'm so against living with someone.... If you're both not ready to make a full commitment to each other, it really isn't in your best interest to move in with him.

Sit down with them, tell them that you're 24, you're moving in with your boyfriend, and that you'd like their support.

I know this is common now but it's still trashy to shack up with a man. Have some self respect.

Just tell them truthfully how you feel. Let's just hope that it doesn't fall apart. Good luck

sit them down, and explain it to them, ya they will get mad and upset and probably yell, but they have to understand you are old enough to do as you please
