Anyways the lease on the old apartment is expiring soon, one of my old roommates (and good friend of both me and BF) is going to move into a spare bedrooms at BFs place and I really need to tell my parents like now and am just dreading it so much I have been dreading it all week, just tense with anxiety and I feel like I probably made the whole thing worse by putting it off/avoiding it and not confronting it sooner especially because I think really the only way to handle it at this point is to lie and tell them I am moving soon when the roommate is so they don't know I lied by ommision to them for months

My mom got married less then a month after she turned 25, and moved into my dad's apartment right after the wedding. Moving in with a partner is a lot easier to reverse than marriage. Moving in with a partner of 2 years where you have had a very stable and supportive relationship during that time, when you are almost 24 and they are 24 doesn't seem like that unusual or even risky a thing to do If my BF and I break up, I'll find a new apartment and it obviously wouldn't be a fun experience, moving never is, but it also wouldn't be the end of the world, I don't even know if I'm going to stay in Cleveland forever. But my mom just seems to find it inconceivable and scandalous and seems to think I am somehow trapping myself by doing this My dad thinks it is irresponsible and that couples should wait till marriage before moving in together IDK what to do with them so I just didn't tell them
