hi there, i have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. I will be turning 20 and still in college going through to become a nurse. My boyfriend is turning 26 but still lives at home with his parents. He doesn't go to school as he is finished. I want him to start thinking about moving out with me when i am done school but he doesn't want to as he likes the free rent and free food. He doesn't want to get a house until him and i both have jobs. Dont get me wrong i love his parents but i would like a house to come home to with just him. How can i change his mind for the time being and starting heading down the path of getting a house together? Any hints or thought that would be great. Thanks!

'How can i change his mind '

Ouch! Stop right there. You can not change someone's mind. He has told you that he likes his situation.

'He doesn't want to get a house until him and i both have jobs'

Listen to him and believe him. It will be a while.

Can you live with this?
