writes:I am 20 years old. When I was 19, I met someone who was a little younger than me. Throughout our time together, we had our ups and downs, but eventualy ended up moving in together. The problem is that my family doesnt like him, and my grandfather really wants me to come back home. I've came home then gone back to him time and time again, and this time, again, I'm back home. The issue is that I feel like I'm sacrificing my happiness to make others happy beause I really miss him and just want to be with him, where I feel happy. I'm stuck in between staying home, for the sake of my family, or going back to him where I really want to be. I'm not a bad person, and dont want to make a bad decision. Someone please help Reply to this Question

 I understand where you are coming from. When I was dating my boyfriend, now husband, we contemplated moving in together. I never followed through with this until we got married though.
I come from a religous family who value the teachings that we grew up with. I used to always brush things off and say that I would do what I wanted because only the older generation actually lived by their teachings, but this time I didn't. I decided to stay with my family until we got married. This allowed me time to see whether the relationship could still work if we were seperated and with limited sex. It did! Girl, when we got married and moved in together, it was AMAZING! I DO NOT REGRET waiting one bit!
Also, you have to admit that living with your folks offers great things as well, like free meals, free rent, free cleaning and so on. Save your money and take advantage of what your family can offer you. Trust me, you'll need it in the future!!!
