I moved out at the age of 17 with my boyfriend at age 19 for college. Was this to young for me?

Question

I have already graduated high school and have my license. And I have known my boyfriend for 5 years and we have dated for over a year now. I turn 18 in one month and I can't seem to find a job after a month of being out on my own. I moved six hours away and to a different state, away from my dad. Rent isn't a issue YET but did I make a mistake?

Answer 1

Hi

Personnally I think is still too young to do that

Answer 2

Are you both going to college??  Who is paying the rent?  If your boyfriend is pulling his share or more then it is ok, however, if you are paying all the rent this will not work you will begin to resent him if you haven't already!  It sounds as though your father did not approve.  Sometimes parents are right.  It sucks but it is true!  You are so young and have so much more life to live, if you are asking this question then you are probably questioning what you have done.

If this is the case, go back to your dad and tell him you messed up, he will probably be there waiting with open arms!

Hope this helps!
