Should I move out of my parents' house to move in with my boyfriend?

I think you might be overthinking things just a little, and in some ways you're really contradicting yourself. Explain to me how you think you depending on him and him putting a roof over your head makes you a replacement to his mother. It doesn't work that way. Honestly though I don't think he bought the house entirely on his own just to be alone. Heck, you even said was talking about moving in with you for a year. Speaking as a guy I think he was serious about moving in with you and he wanted to prove it, I'm betting he did it because he loves you and wants to be with you, and likely has nothing to do with wanting to use you to replace his mother.

That thing about giving things a chance and moving in. Well you remind me of a girlfriend of mine, who was insecure about moving in. She said it was a huge step and that she was worried it was too big, and I pointed out that she was at my apartment 5 days a week. She kinda reacted like "I am?" thought it over and then said "well damn". She reconsidered. One thing you can try to do is move in part of the way, by only moving in a few key things in, things you think might make you feel at home, staying there maybe 4 or 5 days out of the week, and stay home or somewhere else the other days, and keep at this until you feel comfortable.

Are you too old to be living at home? Statistics say no. I think the stats say the average age has been rising up and is something like 25 now. Honestly though I think you're getting close to that age to move out, but I guess in the end it's really not my decision to make. I guess In general you should be asking yourself what you're really afraid of in this matter, and then keep asking yourself why until you have no good answers. That's something that usually works for me but it's not for everyone.

Hey I hope things work out for you and your boyfriend, whatever you choose. Good luck.

I think that you should only move in if you feel comfortable. Explain to him exactly how you feel, so if you do move together he'll already know your concerns about moving in, and by telling him everything you guys can address the situation and confront the issue with can or cannot be solved. But I also think that you should be careful and have a backup plan, like in case of anything you'll have somewhere to stay, because the house is in his name you have no rights to stay there unless he allows you. SOOOO be careful and listen to your heart, but be logical about what you're getting yourself into.

I think obligations' idea is spot-on. But I'll also add that at least you have a loving family who'd take you back in a heartbeat if you found out the relationship wasn't working. You're not too old to be living with your family still, but many of your peers are probably living with roommates already. I'd be honest with him & tell him all your fears about moving in. Open up a discussion so he knows what your boundaries are and why you're hesitant to become dependent on him. It was a little selfish (and possibly manipulative) of him to go and buy a home then pressure you to move in. But he could also just be naive about these things. You've known him for 2 years, so you'd be better able to judge if this is the kind of behavior he'll maintain after you've moved in or if this is just a desperate attempt to get you to make up your mind. Good luck!

Try this. Try just spending a night a few days in a row (not moving in) but just spending a night and living there like 2-3 days in the row to see what it would feel like moving in...and as time progresses make it 4 days, 5 days, and then slowly 6 , and 7 and then "move in".
