[quote=Anonymous]OP -- when you think about life down the road, what does it look like? I have a feeling you'd want it to be like this -- living down the street from your siblings and parents; your sisters/sisters in law as your best friends; kids running back and forth to cousins and grandparents homes; when your niece has a soccer game or your son has a football game -- the whole family goes to cheer and after that game, you all convene at one home, eat dinner and talk and laugh for hours, everyone goes home to their own houses at 9-10 pm exhausted and to bed, then everyone wakes up, goes to work, and reconvenes with the family in the evening and the cycle restarts.

Am I close?

Nothing wrong with this type of living at all -- it's a very generational, communal way of living that can lead to a very happy life surrounded by those closest to you. I grew up in south Jersey surrounded by many (3rd or 4th gen) Italian families and this was their daily life; I was always a bit jealous of it. Reality is though --in order for it to work, you need a boyfriend/spouse who grew up in this kind of lifestyle (and then you'll be doubly busy bc you'll be splitting time with his and your family assuming they're nearby) OR one who didn't but really wanted it. Bc then they will jump right in and be a part of the fun from day one. It will NOT work if you have a boyfriend like yours -- who is either at your family home checking his watch the whole time wondering when you can leave or worse yet refuses to go and is stewing at home thinking -- WTH -- she's been over there for 4 freaking hours already and she still isn't done!?

Think honestly but what you want in the long run bc the way you're putting it, I don't think this bf is the right match for you (nor you for him).[/quote]
