Question
Is it ok to be nervous about moving out of your parents house and moving in with boyfriend?
I am 24 and this will be the first time I actually take all of my things and move out! I have a great relationship with my Dad and I feel like I will lose that relationship that I treasure so much when I move. I'm moving out in mid-December. I've lived with 2 friends & then with an ex-boyfriend before for awhile, but would come home every once in awhile to get some "home-cooked" food. I am in a serious relationship and he has asked me to move in. I know he is the one and we have a plan and everything. After I finish school and land a job, we will get married. We plan on getting engaged while I'm still in school. He's 32 and I'm 24. I'm just nervous I will be "home sick". I think it's more anxious than anything. I stay @ my boyfriend's apt from friday - monday right now. I think it's the fact that I'm moving all my things in, that is making me nervous. Any advice?

Have a sit down chat with your Dad. Ask him to tell you how he truly feels. Tell him you are nervous, but know this is what you really truly want. Ask if you need to, can you come by once in a while for some father/daughter time. Moving out on your own at first can be scary, I've done it, and I wouldn't change anything about it. Wish you all the best on your big step in life.

It's natural to be nervous. This is a big step, but I wouldn't worry to much. Just because you are moving out, doesn't mean that you cant visit home. And you could always have a set day, like a Sunday or something, where you get together at either your dad's place, or your new place for breakfast, lunch or supper.

Sit down and talk to your dad about his concerns. Keep in mind there is at least a decent chance you'll need to move back in at some point. Mend fences don't burn bridges
