I am 18 years old, female, and very independent. Im 100% ready to move out mentally. My boyfriend turns 20 in a few months and he says he's too scared. He loves living at home and is a huge mummy's boy. So I tried to compromise and said 'okay, just THINK about it for me and mentally prepare yourself'. No compromise, he said that was too scary. So I bent over backwards even more and said 'okay, don't even think about it, start a savings account so when you're mentally ready to think about it, we have a budget estimate to work off' (since I already do have a savings account for it). No compromise, apparently that's too scary too. I'm starting to feel like considering 3 or so months into our relationship he gave me a promise/pre engagement ring, he's a bit of a bullshitter. Loves the IDEA of commitment but will NEVER follow through. I understand that he's had a lot of hands on parenting his whole life so it must be daunting to think about getting independent but come on, it's getting a bit ridiculous for me now considering we've almost broken up over this a couple of times. I'd love a guys perspective on this because I want a bit of compromise off him and I don't know how to get it without hurting him or losing him. I don't want to force him in to anything he doesn't want, but at the same time, he's forcing me into a corner saying 'I don't want to break up with you because I love you more than anything, but I will never think about moving out of my parents house'. Apparently even me asking for a time estimate (Eg, can you start to think about it in a year, two, three) was me forcing him and he doesn't understand why I'd do that. Despite my calmly explaining it a million times. I want to wake up next to him every day and make him breakfast in bed and all that cliche stuff. How can I get him to see that he's forcing me to give up on everything I want because he acts like it's never gonna happen?
