[quote=Anonymous]OP . here.

I think I made the wrong impression about DH.

He and DS are not super close, but do have a decent relationship. DH's main reason for not wanting DS to come home is not because he *doesn't* want DS home because they dont like each other, he just thinks DS should give it more time before making this decision as we can help him stay afloat up here and because DH is worried DS coming home would be something DS would ultimately regret. He also isn't forbidding DS from coming home, just trying his damnedest to convince DS to stick it out.

Part of it is also that I am a bit more of a homebody and DH has been up to visit DS more regularly, so has seen DS making his own life up there, met his friends, etc and better understands how much of a loss this move could be (according to him).

I 100% agree with those that say that if DS is asking to come home we should at this point help him to do that. I'm not worried about DS sticking around too long, he is far too independent to do so. I swear if he could move out at age 5 he would have (not to run away, its just who he is, very independent).

To the people saying that DS is too old to move back or whatever, that's not the question. He is 100% welcome to and  neither me or DH has any desire to turn him down if he needs to. Both me and DH spent at least a couple months living with our parents in our early 20s, and I actually spent nearly a year living with mine in my early thirties (not financial reasons, but rather convenience).

Thanks for the advice so far! [/quote]
