I want my own apartment. I’m 21, recently moved back home 8 months ago, and now I’m ready to move out again (on my own). My parents are onboard with the idea, but they want me to wait until after the holidays. My boyfriend is in the navy and doesn’t make BAH yet, and won’t make BAH until late next year; He won’t be moving in with me. I told him about all the apartments I found cheap, and he’s so certain I can’t make it on my own. He’s not even in this equation, so I don’t believe he has a say. He can have his opinion’s all he wants, but he’s literally just shooting down everything, and he 100% believes I can’t support myself. It’s disgusting, and quit honestly, it pisses me off and offends me. I’m done waiting on a boy so I can move out. I won’t let a boy hold me back from moving on with my life. I did it once with my ex of 6 years, and that was a shit show nightmare that ended up me being abused/cheated on 6 months into our lease. I’m doing this whether he likes it or not.

Support or not, this is for me and me alone. I have my family backing me up, and that’s all I care about.
