TALK TO STEPH: MY MUM SAYS I CAN’T MOVE OUT UNLESS I GET MARRIED

Rose sent in this. She needs your urgent advise. Hear her:

 

Hello Stephanie,

 

I am 29 and financially independent but my mum insists I can only move out when I get married. I work in a telecommunications outfit. Although I live with my parents, I earn enough to cater for myself and I also assist my siblings in various ways.

I feel it is time I leave my parents to stay on my own which I can comfortably afford but my mum is kicking against it. She said she will not accept that I live her home except I am going to my husband’s house. I am still single and there is no way I will get married before this year runs out and I seriously need to leave my parents.

I want some privacy but my mum would hear none of that. What if it takes another 5 years before I get married? I can’t stay with my parents for that long!

What do you advise I do?
