Dear GirlShrink,
I have been dating my boyfriend for 6.5 months & things couldn’t be better. As far as family-life, we have put our house up for sale & where my parents want to move to isn’t where i want to move to. Is 6.5 months too soon to move in with my boyfriend? I have spent MANY sleepless nights thinking about this & if the answer is yes how do i tell my parents about this?………..
PLEASE HELP A.S.A.P
Dear Sleepless Nights,
You may have made your decision by the time you read this response, but I hope that you have since realized that if you have to ask me about moving in with your boyfriend and you can’t make the decision — you are NOT ready. Now if you are solely asking me my opinion, based on my experience, I would say that 6 months is too soon, but of course we all have different experiences — and there are examples of people who have been married for 25 years after knowing each other only 6 weeks. Now is that the norm? No. Typically most people need to get to know someone a little longer and a little better than that before making a decision like living with them or marrying them. If you were my daughter I would be concerned. But I hope that you make the right decision for you.
If anyone has any additional useful advice for sleepless nights, please leave it in the comments section below.
