Moving on our own maybe 🌟
I would like some opinions please. I’m well aware nobody can tell me what to do but hearing other opinions is all I really am looking for.
My fiancé and I are expecting our first child the end of June. He currently lives with family. His family has a really nice house and the basement is like his own apartment. However he doesn’t get much privacy. With that said, I have been talking to him lately about us getting our own place. He decided he would talk to his mom about it. He said he wanted to get his own place with me, and she asked him if I was pressuring him to do it, he said no he has the desire to move out. She then said, well if you move out we’re going to sell this house because we don’t need this much room. She said when she gets a new house that he would still have a room if he ever needed to move back but it won’t be a big space like he has now. He then tells me that he likes how he doesn’t have much responsibility far as paying bills and it’s more convenient for him. However, I am 6 years older than him and I would like for us to get our own place. He is an only child, and I told him I want us to get a place to raise our son and us be the parents and make our own rules. I basically have to explain the circle of life to him which is making it complicated in a way. He said he has been spoiled and coddled his entire life but he does want to get a place and make this life for us and our growing family. I know his mom is going thru a rough time with loosing a friend (gone on drugs) going thru a divorce and probably now feels like she’s loosing her son. Which would be hard on anyone, but I really want to be out from under that roof. I’ve explained this to him and he agrees, but I just feel like his mom will be in his ear trying to say things to him more because she doesn’t want to end up alone. They will still have a relationship but it won’t be living together. I’m really worried he will change his mind if he gets mad at me. Certain things with his mom hasn’t made for us to move forward in our relationship because she’s always involving herself in things that involve just us. I’m not sure exactly what to think but he knows how I feel.
Edit: I don’t live with him. I’m currently staying with my mom trying to come up with a plan for my own life. He is 26. He has a job, saves his money and very much interested in working. As myself im just getting over covid plan on going back to work. Tbh the reason why I don’t want to stay is because it’s their house; their rules and I really don’t need someone telling me how to take care of my son. Unwanted advice and stuff like that. I would like for us to make our own decisions, be adults and not worry about anything that’s not wanted or needed. When you live with people you have to obey their rules and his mother is too involved in our personal relationship something I feel would only get worse when our son is born. Not trying to take away from her need boundaries for people to actually respect and can’t tell people what to do in their own homes is understandable.
