Leaving home to be with someone you love

We have all been in love once or twice in our lives. And we all feel like moving and living with the other person forever. Some relationships worked, others didn’t. Despite that, we all had the feeling of leaving home for love. But is it the right thing to do? Are we rational when we make a decision related to love or do we act on an irrational basis? When should someone move out of their home and with their current boyfriend or girlfriend? What should you consider before moving in?

Here’s what to keep in mind before leaving home for love:

• age Before you even consider leaving the house, you should ask yourself if you are not too young to do so. 16, 17 and even 18 can be considered too young to move in and be with the person they love. In fact, you will have to find a way to support yourself financially. I no longer want to ask my parents for money or my parents will buy it from me. Also, you should consider how old your boyfriend or girlfriend is.
• Education – many girls are willing to sacrifice their education to live with the boys they like, when in reality no one guarantees that the relationship will work out. Before you move, ask yourself if you are anxious to waste all the years you spent studying, all your dreams, and all your future. No one says that you will never find a university to move to or that you will not be able to study and work together, but questions can save you some trouble.
• Responsibilities – Are you ready to move in with your boyfriend, cook for him, do the laundry, clean the house, while you go to school and have a job? Do you feel ready for the whole experience or do you just think it will be amazing and that everything will work out?
• Distance – Where are you moving to? Are you away from your friends and family? If you’re not ready for the whole experience, not only will you hate the whole idea, but when the going gets tough, you won’t be able to meet up with your friends and complain.

Leaving home for love sounds lovely, but it’s definitely as easy as it sounds. Things get tough, especially when money is tight. Don’t waste a good life just because you love the other person. Take into account every detail of your individual life before encountering an unfamiliar and terrifying situation. You are solely responsible for your life and your plans. And you will be the only one to blame if things don’t go as expected.

Love is the closest thing to magic, but don’t let it blind you and take you away from your dreams or path.
