My bf and I have been together 8 years and living together for 7 but at his parents, simply because i'm studying and he works with his parents and we can't afford to move out yet.
Lately we have been having arguments about silly things e.g not having enough room in the bed (pathetic stuff). A few times though during an argument he has been saying go home to you're mums its normal to have space. Which is true but to say this now? After 7 years of living together. He is 28 btw, being quite hurt and confused by this I explained that when we get our own house that we will be living together and that I wont be taking trips to my mums house for the night because its normal to have space.
Then I compared us to other couples and he says they don't need space because they have their own houses and we live with parents therefore he wants mee to spend nights at my mums and then nights at his.
I just don't get this after 8 years, why now? I will literally be living out of a suitcase coming back and fourth when I have already made a home for myself here. He said he never has time to himself because I'm here and it just makes me feel really sad and crap about myself tbh.
I really don't know what to think. Obviously I am going to respect he wants the space but I just don't think I can go back to having sleepovers at my age.
Any advice?
