Anita,
We talked and he agrees with me!
He has been wanting to move in together for over a year, but didn’t want to rush me or freak me out, so he waited until I felt ready and wanting to.

He has a very stressful environment at his parents house, and knows he can’t live there. I think he does feel a little guilty leaving them on their own….He is from a culture where it is more traditional to stay and take care of your parents, especially the younger sibling, even though they tell him they dont want that, but I think he feels guilty if he didnt.
His sister just had a baby, so she has her own life now, even though she is not far, and comes by all the time.
He grew up in a stressful environment, and I think he feels a lot of resentment towards his parents. Its just unhealthy for him to be there.

It makes a lot of sense to move in together, and we both see that. We both have expressed that we can see us being together forever.

He is saving his money because he has some debt, but not a lot, and to be able health related stuff, but we believe we can make it work.

Of course there is no rush, even though I can’t really stand my roommates. But now that we’ve reached this point, I absolutely can hang in there a little longer. We both have been through a lot of ups and downs over the last year, and I think we just want to take some time to think this through and plan it out right.

Thank you for your outside perspective, it helps a lot!
