Moving In With Me
I'm almost 20 and been with my boyfriend for 6 months, but we've been friends a year before we began dating. I live by myself & lately I haven't felt very safe at my place. I don't have any option of moving back with my parents unless I move out of state & it's really not an option (I'd have to give up a good job and school). Anyways, I talked to my parents & they suggested to see if my boyfriend would stay at my place more often (or they'd force me to move back home because they don't want me to be scared about my safety). My boyfriend & I already spend most of our free time together, we just don't live together. I know he doesn't want to move out because he plans to live with his parents till he finishes school. (I don't blame him!) I was wondering if it'd be a wise decision to bring up the idea of him..somewhat.. moving in with me? I wouldn't ask him to put any money towards the bills. He would still be close to both his parent's places (both are within 3 minutes away). I'd just want him to be around more often so I'd feel more safe. We have a pretty close relationship, but I wanted someone's input on how to bring it up & what kind of compromise I could make? Good idea or not?

Well it would solve the problem of your being safer and feeling safer, but what if the two of you break up? Who will keep you safe then? Even if you meet someone new, you wouldn't want him to move in until you get to know him more. I don't want to discourage you, but how about looking at other options too. Like an alarm system, or even a hand held alarm. What about martial arts, can you take a self-protection course? How about a yapping dog. Some people have fake dogs that just bark. Double locks on doors and windows. Grates on the windows. Try the phone book or even the internet.....to look up personal security. See what come up. Just so you have all the information that you may need on the subject.
GOod luck to you
