I (28F) and my BF (27F) of 10 years want to move in together. We both have jobs and our own apartments but spend every night together. Moving in together would save us time and money.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I am afraid of what my parents would think. I don’t know how to bring it up to them. I’m not even sure what I am afraid of. They live in another state. I financially support myself. In the past, they were not too fond of my BF. He delt with a lot of home troubles when we first started dating. My mom always told me that I shouldn’t be with someone that has “so much baggage”. Always told me that I should go out and explore, learn about myself, be independent blah blah. Even prevented him from attending my college graduation. My BF and I did LDR a few years in college. In recent years, it seems that they have accepted that he isn’t going anywhere and seem to be friendlier with him.
How can I get over this fear?
​
TL; DR: I (28F) and my BF (27F) of 10 years want to move in together but am afraid of what my parents would think since they didn’t like him in the past.
