Hi,

I'll try keep this short. Basically my bf and I have spoke about moving in together this year. Upon further discussion he has told me the area he wants to move to, basically 5 minutes away from his family. Of course its lovely he wants to be near his family but I think that he is using them as a security blanket or something. He said "for his first time moving out", he doesn't want to move too far. It's a big move for both of us so I understand his concerns. We're i'm living is closer for both of us to work and we're still within a short distance of our families. So I suggested as a compromise we move somewhere in the middle. He won't budge. I really want to go travelling and have spoke to him about this and he said he would be up for it once he's finished some training that he's doing, so I told him i'd hold off until then. I'm getting concerned with his attitude towards moving out that he won't go at all. Another issue is his mam, I get on with her really well, could yap away to her all night. BUT she makes a few remarks that concern me like the bfs brothers partner recently made a remark towards the brother that the mam thought was directed at her, the family have told her it was aimed at the brother not to get upset and she basically said oh if you do something on my child you do it on me. She was serious too. This worries me, what if me and my bf have a row or I say something to him she doesn't like am I going to fall out with her too? Me and the bf never row and if we do its usually nothing serious, but this still worries me. Not sure what im looking for, just advice really, would these be alarm bells for others or should I just go with it?
