Hello all, so here it is:
I am a F/24 still living at home while I’m finishing pursuing a masters. I have two sisters (I’m a middle child) one who is about to move out and the other just moved back home. I have been seeing my boyfriend M/25 for just about 8 months and as we get more serious I tend to stay at his place longer. Now he has no problem with it, more often than not he’s the one asking me to stay longer and I even have a shelf in the bathroom and am allowed to leave whatever I’d like. The problem is my family, I love them but it feels like the more I stay over at my boyfriends, the more ostracized I am once I return home. Now obviously, I am the one choosing to not be at home all the time, but they make me feel guilty about it. I am gradually feeling more awkward about coming home and feeling more like I don’t want to be there? I could be overthinking this but is this a glimpse of becoming an adult? What would be the case when I eventually move in with my boyfriend and don’t live here anymore?
Question: Should I feel guilty for spending most of my time at my boyfriend’s apartment while still living at home?
