Only child wanting to move out
It’s bittersweet but my partner and I are looking to move out. We thought it would be July but the apartment we like said they can’t promise us July 1st but they could have us moved in possibly June 15th. It’s coming up fast and not enough time to break the ice to my mom who is a single parent.
I’ve lived with her my whole life. It wouldn’t be anything financially bad bc I don’t pay rent I pay utilities for her but I feel like she can manage.
She’s just be in denial about be me moving and has asked if I can stay a few more years which is too long for me when I mentioned it before. I am 28 years old and engaged. My partner lives with us for a little right now because we planned to move soon and he leased his apartment in preparation for moving. Although it’s a bit sooner than planned I’m feeling doubtful due to knowing my mom won’t take it well or be supportive even tho I know I need to grow up and live life.
The apartment is perfect and might not get another one like it. I’m obviously going to miss her and scared our bond will change because we never been apart. I’m so torn. My partner does not mind waiting but I feel like we might not get this opportunity or apartment again.
Any advice? I’m going through all the emotions. Feeling lost, guilty and like something will change with our bond/relationship.
