Dear Amy: I am a 30-year-old professional woman who owns her own home, has a stable career and lives a couple states away from my parents. My boyfriend and I have been dating for more than a year and have decided to move in together. We have had very candid conversations about when we’d like to get married, discussed financials, having children, etc. We feel we’re in a great space to move in together, but my parents are completely against this and would be incredibly disappointed to find out we made the move. I’ve never been rebellious against my parents’ wishes, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to wait until we’re married to live together. I should also add we will not be able to afford the wedding my parents expect us to have unless we can figure out a better budget, which living together will help with. I’m torn between doing what I know is right for me and my boyfriend and not “disobeying” my parents. I’d love advice from you and your readers.
