Moving out with partner
My Boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 6 years, I'm 21 and he's 22
Lately we've been talking about moving out together for the first time
I need some advice on this because I am in two heads about it
I love my parents I'm attached to them i know how to do things on my own but I'm Afraid of loosing their company by moving out I love their company it's a sense of security for me
But at the same time it's very hard to only see my partner on weekends and it's hard to be intimate due to lack of privacy and time, it's getting even harder where some weekends we can't be intimate
I know at some stage I want to move out with my partner to move forward in our relationship and rekindle lost feelings due to lack of privacy but I'm really unsure of how to deal with my anxiety over missing my parents and taking that big new step
Thank you to anyone for your advice

How are you and your bf financially? Are you each able to support yourselves, or would one of you be supporting the other to some degree?
How will you handle conflicts and disagreements? Living together can bring out all sorts of things, from who does the laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc. to sleep schedules, how often to invite people over, etc. Do you know how well you two mesh on these things?
You both might be ready, but you also need to figure out how you're going to handle this stuff and commit to being honest and doing right by each other even in hard times. Your parents can probably also provide perspective on their difficulties in living together and how they solved them--in other words, you can use this experience to grow closer with them rather than farther apart.
