I don't want to move in with him just because of that reason. I don't feel we have matured enough to take that large step. i'm still to family orientated at the moment and i want to be around them, although i want my own space as they still treat me as a child. That is probably partially the problem also. I still feel i'm a child although i am 20, nearing 21. I have lead a sheltered life and i don't feel i know enough about the world to make it on my own yet. My boyfriend still does a lot of small things that irritate me alot and he sometimes goes out his way to actually annoy me when he is bored. This frustrates me and i end up just wanting away to my own home. If i move in with him, then i have no where to escape to.He feels that all of the problems we have is because i have to go home. He says he would be less frustrated about time if we had all of it and i didn't have a deadline. He says he would be less annoying because we would have the whole house to move around in and i can go to another room if he annoys me. I don't know i don't quite trust it. I love him very much but i dont think our relationship is THAT strong to survive that sort of test yet.I considered a two bedroom might be a better answer so that it could be a sort of inbetween thing and we would each have our own space. But they cost ALOT of money and he would be struggling to pay for a one bedroom to start with. I've just heard alot of horror stories recently that my friend was with his girlfriend for 5 years then got a flat together and then they couldn't handle it and they fought alot and broke up. What should i do? My parents wouldn't be happy if i moved out either. He doesn't want to live with anyone else and can't really afford it himself.What options do i have?
