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

Anyways I texted my parents a note about 30 hours ago that has enough PII I'm not going to post it here But I think it was very polite and respectful of their point of view but firm that this is what I am doing Absolutely no acknowledgement of it Called my mom for my normal twice-weekly commuting catch up on my way home today and she didn't pick up (which definitely isn't unheard of for her to be busy and miss it but isn't super common and she often sends a sorry to miss you, catch up tomorrow? type text) I imagine I'll hear from them eventually and we will all pretend like nothing happened but if they ever make any acknowledgement of the move I will have to be the one to bring it up and it won't be a fun conversation

@devkitsune@furry.engineer I'm sorry things are so difficult with your parents. For what it's worth, it's pretty understandable that things turned out the way they did and moving in with your bf seems like the logical choice... Here's some hugs if you want some: :neofox_hug:
