Moving in with bf at 17?
Hi, so im planning on moving in with my boyfriend and his family, 17. I'm currently 17 as well. We have both known each other since we were 13, and admittedly had feelings for each other the entire friendship although we've only been dating for a couple months.
Im very close with his family, they helped me move out of my mom's into my dads, but that resulted in me and my bf becoming long distance; he actually only worked up the courage to ask me the day before I left. So we are a few states apart and have been since. I plan to visit this summer here in a month, and stay at his house for a few weeks during summer break. I think it would give me a good idea of what living with him would be like, as I've spent nights there but no more than a few days. So this would be kind of a trial run? And obviously a time for us to see each other and be together in person and see what it's like.
I just want to know, overall is it a good idea to move down in August before school starts? I'll be a senior next year. His family of course has problems of their own, and we would have our own rooms too and ive already expressed to him that I do value alone time sometimes because I don't want us to be dependent on each other. We're planning on moving with them for the school year, then saving for our own place a couple towns away after we graduate. I can further explain the situation in comments. Just ask! I'm hoping for any advice, especially from anyone who's been in similar spots.
Also: I turn 18 the next month after, so it'd really be 18 tbf
