When you both live at home with family

Hi,

I am 27 and moved back home with my mom this past spring. I met someone who lives in the same town as me and also lives at home with his family. It's been almost 9 months and we see this as long term. Things are great, though lately I have been snapping at him, moody, and getting upset about everything where he is concerned. While my mom is great and understanding about my relationship, I think it's getting to me that I am living here and don't have privacy until she goes to bed. I am not comfortable just going up to my room when he comes over and we both don't want to go out all the time and spend money. Spending time at his house is way more uncomfortable, they ask a lot of questions and there isn't much to do. With the winter finally showing up in NJ, there is not a whole lot to do. I really love this guy and I want to stop turning into a monster when little things bug me....I think this living at home is really getting to me, but the situation is going to remain for a while. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!!!!!

Welcome to the board dramabella,


Is there anyway either of you can move out with a roommate to have your own place?


Sounds like you are missing one-on-one quaility time with him.

Welcome to the board dramabella,


There isn't any way that either of you could move out soon? I am sure it is hard to not be able to spend more one on one time with each other. I wish I had some advice for you, but other than just going to your room when he comes. Sorry. Hopefully some one else will have some good advice for you.
