Santos has been asking me to move in with him for a while. I have always wanted to move in with him but I was afraid of telling my parents and all the drama that I knew they would make over this decision. But enough is enough I'm tired of being afraid of my parent. So after going over the conversation in my head I was ready to confront them. It knew it wasn't going to be easy but I knew I had to do it. I told them that I wanted to move in with Santos and like predicted they freaked out. Why? I don't know.
My mom told me that I needed to have some values and waite till I get married to move in with a guy. They are ok with the idea of me moving out but not with a guy. They are extremely old school. She then asked me why wasn't Santos asking them if it was ok for me to move in with him. I'm sorry but I don't think I want him asking my parents. It would be like I have no say in this. I will never understand why back in the olden days guys need to ask permission from the parent. It's as if daughters where some kind of property and I told her that. It's my decision to move out and Santos shouldn't even have to come and ask for permission.
Another thing is that my Mom thinks that I will stop talking to the family once I move out. I guess that's what happened to her in her first marriage. I don't think Santos is that controlling so I have nothing to worry about. After all this drama with my parents I have decided to move in with Santos on the 26th of this month.
