Will my parents be ok to find that i want to move in with my bf?

Question

I'm a college sophomore and i can't have the luxury to live in the dorm this coming fall. that takes away my freedom and i HATE being in the presence of my mother. she drives me nuts with her over-protectiveness and 'fantasy-like' expectations of me. my boyfriend is renting an apartment right across from the university's entrance and i want to move in with him. the problem is, my parents hold me to 100 year old asian standards and probably will think of it as taboo and 'dis-own' me to threaten me to stay home. they may also threaten to not pay for my education. but honestly, i want to have the college experience and not be bugged down at home living like a loser. i want to live with my boyfriend and how should i do it? just do it and don't care for my parents? or stay home and let my bf live lonely at his place...

Answer 1

As long as your parents are paying for your education you have to be concerned about what they think!  If you cannot afford to pay for your education and living expenses by yourself, then I would suggest you ask them.  If they say no, then that is that unless you find a way to pay for your own education.

If you have enough money that you can pay for your rent and living expenses yourself, you could offer to do that in exchange for their blessing.  That way they save money so that may be a small incentive to say yes!

Good Luck!

Remember BFs come and go but and education is forever!  Do not give up one for another!!!!!!

Answer 2

If you are out to hurt your parents for what ever you think they have done wrong then this is a good way to do it.

You are asking the wrong people. You already know the answer to your question. You will do what you. So don't get the people on answers to help you do what you have already made up your mind to do.  

Answer 3

First get straight with yourself.  Your lonely boyfriend has nothing to do with this.  You're going to live in the same town as your college, boyfriend and parents.   Your parents' standards are what they are.  So this is about what you want.  This time of your life is not about whether you're a loser or living at home or in some apartment with a guy you like right now.  This time is about taking the direct responsibility for the most important part of your education.  Preparing yourself for your future will never be easier.  If you choose to complicate the effort with conflict in your family,  be assured it will spill over into your educational life and your love life.   You owe it to yourself to choose a more mature approach for the short term.  If this boyfriend is the real deal, he's going to understand out of love for you.   If not then you don't want him anyhow.  Good Luck

Answer 4

You are an adult so you can do whatever you want.  But keep in mind that they don't have to be responsible for paying for your education either.  You're an adult and if you want to move in with your boyfriend your parents won't have to foot the bill for it whether you like it or not.  If you want to have the "college experience" I suggest you get a job and pay for it yourself then your parents don't have to once you move out.

Answer 5

I know I wouldn't let my daughter live with her boy friend.  She would never ask me that question because she would know what my answer would be.  Then to we raised her knowing that it is wrong for a man and a woman to live together with being married.

If you want to get an apartment, ask a girl friend to rent one with you and share expenses.  A lot of young people live at home and go to college if their parents live in a college town.  It sure does save on college expenses.

Why does living at home take away your freedom?  Quit thinking of yourself and think about your parents for a change.  They may need for you to live at home because of the expense of living away from home.  If money is no concern to them, then get your own apartment but not with your boy friend.

Blessings
