Family or boyfriend

I have been in a relationship for 4 years and he asked to move in. We both have great jobs and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but I said no, I really want to live with him, but moving out my house without getting married would mean to get all my family upset and I dont feel like that is a good way to start a new life. My family has always been supportive with me, payed all my college bills and love my boyfriend, but I have cousins that have moved in with their partners without getting married and that is just unacceptable for them.

My boyfriend has accepted my decision, but I regret it sometimes, I really wish we lived together.

What do you think? Is it ok to put my family wishes before my desires? I don’t want to affect my relationship with my family.
