How do I tell my boyfriend I want to live alone before we move in together? NEED SOME REAL ADVICE HERE
So my boyfriend has been talking about us moving in together next year and idk why but it’s been stressing me out a little.
Like, I love him. I really do. And I can definitely see us living together eventually. But I’ve never actually lived alone before, and lately I keep thinking about how much I want to experience that at least once.
I’ve always lived with other people, whether it was family or roommates, so I’ve never had a place that was just mine. And honestly? I kinda want that.
I want to come home and have the apartment exactly how I left it. I want to buy random decorations without asking anyone if they like them. I want to spend an entire Sunday doing absolutely nothing and not feel like I need to talk to somebody. I even want the boring stuff like grocery shopping for one person and figuring out bills by myself lol.
But my boyfriend is already talking like moving in together is obviously the next step, and every time he brings it up I just kinda go along with it.
I haven’t told him how I feel yet because I’m scared he’ll take it as me not being serious about him.
It’s not that I don’t want to live with him.
I just really want to know what it’s like to live alone before I possibly never get the chance again.
Is that weird??
