Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly, but can I really live under the same roof with him again at my age? The weird thing is, for the better part of 4-5 years I've longed to be closer to family, as I have none here in Chicago. Now I'm scared shitless at the thought because I don't want him to judge me.

I get it. It does get lonely sometimes when I walk into the house and it's just me, and my cat. But pets don't talk back.

Sometimes I wouldn't mind if my sister moved in with me, then I remember how bad it ended up about ten years ago that I
had to move out. I found a roommate on
Craigslist! That's how desperate I was, I trusted random people on the internet to live with!
Maybe just having family nearby may be better instead of having them in your house. It might get overwhelming quick. My mom moved in with a few months for me last year for financial issues. By the end of the first month, I could not wait for her to leave! Now that she has her own place and is nearby, that is way better.
You know in your heart what the best solution is for you. Good luck however it works out. Take care.
