Need advice on young couple moving in together...?

My boyfriend and I are 20 years old and go to a prestigious college (which is where we met). We've been together almost 2 years, and he has brought up the subject of moving in together. We have a very healthy and respectful relationship, and both he and I have a good head on our shoulders. While financially (rent-wise) it would be less expensive than my situation now, I have a few... concerns? worries? apprehensions? something.





I come from a very traditional family, and it's going to be difficult for them to accept or support this. They believe that only married couples should co-habitate, and they also think we are too young (they see me as the 'baby' of the family). I'm also worried that my parents (who like to try to keep control of my life) will not financially support the decision by no longer paying my tuition, which I cannot afford on my own, even with loans.





I currently live on my own, I'm very independent and I've got a bright and successful future ahead of me.





Should I go it single-occupancy or double? I'd appreciate your advice.Need advice on young couple moving in together...?
Enjoy your independence. There is no rushing moving in together and honestly, I think its a bad idea anyway. You either get married anyway (with statistically higher divorce rates)or you get stuck giving away your free milk.


My mom always co habitated with her boyfriends and she still is doing that to this day (never married.) I swore I never would and now I am 5 years into a happy marriage and whenever I am cleaning up his mess, I remember fondly when I was single and free and just had to clean up my own mess.
