Living together before marriage?

Sadly she may have to be unhappy. You have to do what will be right and easiest for you. I can understand why her thoughts matter to you, she is your mom. You're going to be married soon though, and that's equally important. I hope it all works out for you in the best possible and easiest way for you. It makes me sad you have to go through this stress

You're welcome I relate to the sibling issue...my older brother could do no wrong in my late parent's eyes...if only they could see him now "sigh" I hope you're having a wonderful Easter

I'm a christian, that being said, I had to move in with fh because i couldnt live with my sister anymore. Hear me out, i moved to the states after the Hurricane Maria Destroyed my home in Puerto Rico. I moved with my sister and you know how you cant live with family for too long, it creates situations. So i looked for an apartment and i didnt have much saves and i just started working a full time job 2 months prior. I told him and we decided to move in together, financially speaking, it was smart. I knew it was a rocky situation, God has opened and closed doors for us in ways i cant explained, he has been there every step of the way and i am so grateful to Him.

I feel like after my first broken marriage i needed time to heal and i had that time but i also knew i didnt want to jump into a marriage without knowing the other person and living together creates the environment you need to know this person fully.

I'm lds so I can definitely see where you're coming from. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with living together. The only reason I haven't is because my FH and I don't have the best self control when it comes to intimacy lol. But I had an apartment last year and my FH stayed the night all the time... We're both currently living at home, and it's been about a year since I was in the apartment. I feel really good about entering the temple now, because I've altered my decisions and just feel more worthy going into my marriage now. It all comes down to your own morals. Your parents can't stop you, and they're still going to love you if you do move in with him. An hour long trek will make the move quite difficult, so I can see why living with your sister in the mean time would be tough to do. Just step back and imagine both scenarios. Lay out the pro's and cons and maybe ask your FH for his advice? Since it's only a month, I don't see how it could possibly be a bad thing. Best of luck to you!!

I'm a Christian and have been living with my FH. We can't afford to live separately (well, we could but we couldn't save for a wedding and I couldn't pay for my tests). But anyway, my parents know and are okay with it. His parents, however, still do not know to this day. It's been 1.5 years. They are super strict on that as well, so we may tell them when my FH's "lease is up in January" that he is moving in or just let them think we aren't living together until we get married. I know it's horrible to be lying, but they are very controlling. Even though my FH is 25, I still feel like they would force him to move back home somehow.

If you are already staying there 3-5 days per week, I’m guessing you have stuff at his house that his Mom would have already seen. Maybe you could move your extra apartment stuff storage that you are keeping and then just “stay over” until the wedding. So technically you aren’t living together, just trying to find a loop hole. We moved in before marriage, my super catholic grandmother dislikes it but she understands it’s our life.
