I have been with my boyfriend for just over a year and he has asked me to move in with him as he has his own place and I said yes. We have planned for me to make the move mid April, which obviously isn't very far away. I just don't know how to tell my parents, its more starting the conversation which I am having the problem with, I'm sure once I have said the first sentence I will be fine! Any advice on how to start a conversation like this. And please no answers such as 'if you can't tell them maybe you aren't sure about the decision to move out' as I have had this from some people and I am 100% sure this is what I want! I'm just not very good at talking things through with people. Reply to this Question

X has asked me to move in with him and I have said yes. I know this might be abit of a shock as it's not something I have mentioned before but I've been thinking about it for a week or so now and I really want to do it." Then just go from there?

Anyway, just sit down with them when they are watching TV or eating dinner and just tell them. That's what I did. If your parents are anything like my mom they wont stop you because they know your grown up. On a side note after only being with him for a year I would suggested not doing it. I wasn't with my boyfriend long when I moved in with him and wish I didn't very much.
