Should I spend less time with my boyfriend?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) October 30th, 2012

I’m 23 and my bf is 22, we both still live with our parents. In Asian culture it’s pretty normal to stay until you get married. Anyways, both our parents are never home. Is mom is usually at his fiance’s house or my parents are out running their business and gambling late at night. I hate going home to an empty house so I stay at my boyfriend’s place very night but go home in the morning back to my house (don’t ask why)

Anyways, my mom is really worried that I’m going to become an old maid and not get married. She’s afraid that he’s going to get too comfortable with me being around that he won’t propose although we’ve only been together for a year. This is why she wants me home most times and not at his place. My sisters agree and say that I should not me with my bf almost every day because I need him to miss me and for him not to get too comfortable.

I already told my bf that I want kids/marriage before I’m 30. hopefully somewhere between 26–29. He knows my deadline.

So yeah, should I spend less time away from my boyfriend? One thing they’re right about is that he is getting a bit too comfortable and kind of taking me for granted because I’m with him a lot. Little things are gone such as getting excited to see me, telling me I’m so pretty, being very affectionate. Don’t get me wrong he’s a good guy but I think with anyone that excitement slows down after being around each other so much. But what’s the point of marriage then if you’re going to see each other all the time anyways?

p.s. my brother is at his gf’s place 5 days a week and my mom never complains about him because he’s a guy.
