I love my boyfriend of 5 years very much. And I would love nothing more to step up in our relationship. I asked him if he’d be willing to move in with me and this has caused him to feel conflicted. This was very tough to hear as it doesn’t sound that he is ready for the next step despite us being together for so long. He said that he didn’t feel alright with paying rent for us (himself. I’ll be paying same amount of rent too) and his parents. I don’t understand why he has to help his parents pay mortgage when at our age we should be moving out and making our own lives. Sounds like he’s not ready to commit or begin choosing me as his first priority. I’m not feeling great about the relationship anymore.
