I (20f) am thinking of moving out for school next Fall to be closer to my campus and to have a social life. I would move into an apartment with some roommates and I want to just be in my fun girl era. I live alone with one of my parents and I would feel bad leaving them because they would live alone. They also discourage me from doing it because of costs but I think I would manage. I get good financial help with school from scholarships and fafsa and I’m planning on working at my school to get discounts. Anyway I also have my partner who I feel would not like the idea of me moving a city over with a bunch of people my age. They get insecure when I’m out which I’m not mad at I just don’t know how to start the conversation of me potentially moving out. I think they have this idea of us moving out together but I want to be on my own before I’m moved on with them. I still love them and don’t want this to end our relationship. But idk how to convince them of that.
Tl;dr: wanting to move out but not wanting to upset my parent and partner by leaving

It sounds like a great idea for you.
You will upset them, but it won’t be your fault. Things can be upsetting but still necessary.
You are young! This is the perfect time to live with other people your age. Don’t let other people’s insecurities hold you back from living the life you want to live.
