Moving in with my bf, how to tell my parents?

I am 19 years old, a freshman in college, and my boyfriend and I plan on moving in together in December. We will have 2 roommates, a guy and a girl.
The thing is, my parents are rather conservative and strict, and they will object heavily to this.
I know I might be young; but I am a legal adult, I have a job to pay rent, and I won't just be living with my boyfriend (the other guy in our apartment is gay).
I don't know how to tell them I'm moving out without it causing an argument. Can anyone give me some advice?
-Peace & blessings-

 

First off, awnser this, does mommy and daddy have control of your car, cell phone, etc etc? Things like thatt... if so then yeah, I see the problem but hoenstly, who cares, it's YOUR life, you can't live with mommy and daddy all your life, its time to spread your wings and fly out into the REAL word.

something like that.

 

Yeah it isn't like being a teen anymore. You can go off and start your own life... I'll wait until I have the money for a car and maybe even finish my 2 years of college.(Were both freshmen, different isn't it?)

 

well, it's really common for college students to live with their parents, that way they can get their college outta the way. hell, if I was gonna go to college i would xD

 

Thats what I'm doing, I know all about it. But if I had a job and a girl, plus a place to live I'd move to.

 

well helll yeah, who wants to live with their parents? I can't wait to finally be on my own, about 7 months, working on getting a job right now, if this pulls through, all I need is a buddy to bunk with, just find a small ass cheap apartment Anything will do honestly lol

 

fuck your parents!
the good is your life and, the good is good is to live it.
when i was a psychotherapist, i saw people raise great courage to leave a bad marraige or, a bad job or, marry someone who did not meet family approvel.

health families self-distruct.
i would be scared shitless and worried sick for you, if you did not take this big step in your life.

 

i told my mum i was pregnant then i was like OH yea an im moving in with the father

 

Honesty is the best policy man, if they can't dig you for who you are and what you're doing then that's their problem.

 

i like this.

Of course, try to be sensitive and diplomatic. However, if they can't handle it, that really is their problem. At 19 you're an adult and are in charge of your own destiny.

Good luck!

 

My only advice has nothing to do with how your parents will handle it (you know them better than us), but more to do with making sure you and the bf are really ready to live together, especially with 2 other people. I moved in with a sig. other the first time after we'd only been going out a few months...we ended up being together 2 years but had a whole host of relationship issues because we jumped into living together too soon. That's my cautionary tale. Do what you feel is right, tell your parents in a non-emotional and diplomatic way, step away and let them have their reaction. It might also depend on if they help you financially in any way or not. If they do, be prepared for them to threaten to take that away. If you can live with that, you'll be fine. There comes a point where a solid separation from the nest has to happen and it's harder on the parents than the kid, just try to treat their point of view with compassion and realize it's hard for them. As far as their opinion on living with a sig. other it sounds like you're prepared for the worst, so hopefully their reaction will be a lot less harsh than what you're preparing for. If they DO freak out, be the calm, even-tempered one and you'll come out in a better position and prove your maturity at the same time.
