I have a boyfriend that I love, and I have a family that I love. For some reason, my family just hates my boyfriend. I live in Georgia by the way. I told my family that I want to go back to New York City to settle down where my boyfriend lives. That doesn't mean that I want to go to ny because of my boyfriend. When I stay home, I feel like I'm getting lazy because I feel too comfortable. I told my family that I got a job in ny and I have to go back to ny on next tuesday. My family just tried to come up with any excuse to not letting me go to ny. I know they worry about me, but I'm already 22, and I'm an adult. I have a airplane ticket, and I'm planning to go to airport whether they will let me go or not. Am I doing the right thing?

As an adult, you have to make your own decisions. No one is responsible for you but you. First I would ask the family to explain exactly why they don't like your BF. Listen to them closely and see if it makes sense or if they are just trying to keep you at home. They may have seen something about him that you are not aware of. Keep an open mind and then make your decision.

I'm the oldest of 5 girls and I think my parents are more protective towards my younger sisters. I'm 26 and my sister is 24. I live about 10 miles from my parents and my sister about 30 miles away. My mom wishes that my sister lived closer even though my sister lives in a nicer neighborhood. They have seen us two older ones struggle.(the 3 younger ones still live at home because they are in school)
I think it might be they are just concerned about their baby. No matter what you will always be their baby. Maybe they are afraid of their daughter being in a big city. I think that if you make it work they will have more respect for you. My mom tell me all the time that she is proud of what my sister and I have accomplished but that she just wished that we didn't move out so soon and make it hard on ourselves.

It's YOUR life, not theirs.
Do what is best for you. They will survive.
