Moving out... Relationship Advice. Your opinion please!?

I have been on and off with my boyfriend for about 7 years. He has basically lived on his own since about 18. When I move out I would like to live on my own or with a roomate first before I move in with him. I would like my own experiences first. Is this normal or ok? What would you think? Should he be mad at that or no?Moving out... Relationship Advice. Your opinion please!?
I think it's an excellent idea to grow and explore on your own before you move in with him. It's called independence, and it sounds like he's had his chance, so why not you?





Maybe he's worried you're leaving the field open if you don't move in with him; in that case, some heart-to-heart discussion is in order.





However, his getting angry with you b/c your timeline doesn't suit him is BS. Hopefully, it's a short-term snit. More than that, like if he gets abusive (emotionally/verbally/physically) or if he takes constant pot shots at you or ';gets back'; at you would make me incline to believe he has control issues.





Plus how mature is that? You want a taste of adulthood and independence, and he pulls a stunt like that? Wouldn't convince me to move in with him, that's for sure.





Stick to your guns and good luck!Moving out... Relationship Advice. Your opinion please!?

Im just going to wait it out and if its ment to happen it will.. You should do the same girl.





good luck! let me know what happens! e mail me at shannonehorsepower@yahoo.com if you want.
Its your life... live it like you want to. If he can't accept that, then he's not a real man. :D
I think it's a good thing to want to be on your own for awhile and get used to your own experiences. If he gets mad at you for it, then you may wish to rethink the relationship.
you are and always should be able to do what is best for you without having to seek permission from anyone.
Yes it is normal, u dont want to be round him 4 like 24 hrs a day. I tihnk its fine as long as u r not stayin with othr guys or watever. I dont think he shud be mad. Good Luck!
DO NOT move in with your boyfriend until you are married - or at the very least engaged..........................
