So I talked to my parents about moving out and after a long discussion they said that they thought it would be a good experience for me if I moved out. What they disapprove of, however, is that I'd be living with a guy. But it's not like as if we'd be sharing the same room or are in a relationship or anything. Besides, he's a really nice guy and I'd feel a lot better living with a guy just in case anything bad happens in the apartment. Plus my other roommate is a girl. What's the big deal? Co-ed roommates are common nowadays anyway.
I have a lot of reasons for moving out. First of all, I'd be moving to an apartment that's only 3 minutes away from the college I go to. Right now, it takes me half an hour to commute to and from school, so by moving out I'll have an extra hour every day to do whatever I want. Not only that, but it would make me more independent and more aware of who I am and what I want to become. You can't completely know yourself if you live with your parents all the time since they control you. Also, since I go to a commuter school, it's really hard to meet new people. By moving out, it'd be sooo much easier for me to meet people. Also, since rent is only $380/month including utilities, that is a really good deal, especially where I live. And I can afford it, since I'm a waitress and make ~$1300 a month working 25 hours a week. My parents have already paid for my car, insurance, and cell phone, so all I would need to pay for on my own is rent, food, gas, and leisure activities. And it's not like as if they can't visit me or I can't visit them. My new place would only be half an hour away so I would be able to visit several times a week. Plus, if moving out doesn't work out for me, I can always move back in with my parents. What do I or my parents have to lose?
Whether they agree with my decision or not, I'm still going to move out. I'm an adult and they can't really stop me from moving out. However, I'd like to move out on good terms with them... I don't want them to be on the brink of disowning me just because I want to move out lol. So do you guys have any suggestions on how to convince them to let me move in with a guy?
