you have shared things with us, and asked our advice and for help. We are giving that advice and help, which may include things you dont want to hear. Details are not needed. prayerful consideration of His ways is needed.

I appreciate the advice. I just have to use my own judgement at this point.

Was he claiming to be a Christian when you started dating him?    That is the first thing to be careful of when you are a Christian....date only Christians.  Even then watch a person for their "fruit" to see if they are truly following Christ.   If they aren't, break it off with them as dating leads to marriage usually.

Yes. He's wasn't an atheist.but the rest of what you're saying is true. I don't see much fruit.

Feelings are temporary and change with the slightest provocation. I sense you're setting yourself up for great hardship. I don't believe you can be objective in this matter. Baggage goes with you, so if you're having issues at home, you'll take it to your next home. Work on your issues at home before moving on.

But my mom is kinda the issue. Her neediness anyway

Why don't you ask him to come to church with you?   If he turns to the Lord sincerely, you both will be happier.   Right now it seems he has dragged you downwards.   You said you feel like you are in limbo.    Perhaps he doesn't realize what he is missing spiritually.... forgiveness, peace with God, joy in walking in fellowship with God and other Christians.  Instead of letting him pull you downwards more, seek to be a help in raising him upwards.

No, you should not use your own judgement.   It appears that you are looking less for advice and looking more for someone to affirm what you have already decided to do.  

The Bible says:  "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." 
(Pro 3:5-7)

You have already admitted that you will be sexually active when you move in with this guy.  Sex  has consequences. What happens if/ when you get pregnant?   Does he want children at this point?   Do you want children at this point.  What will you do?   What happens when he decides to bolt and leave you with a child to raise that neither one of you planned for?

I know that I am late to this discussion, figure of eighty, but I have to agree with others that this moving in with your boyfriend - no matter what the reason - is a very bad idea.  It's a very sinful idea.  Why?  Because Jesus made a distinction between being married and living together.  He declared it wrong just as he declared going from spouse to spouse is wrong.

And the reason that you give - in part, that your mother is to blame - and you want away from her is a terrible reason to move in with him.

I know that's not what you want to hear.  

I've read the majority of your posts here on this site.  You seem to be very unhappy about a lot of things.  Moving in with this man will not fix any of those pains.

It will only add one more pain to the mix.

I didn't clarify with my mom. I can't do it this second but I will soon. But it isn't a terrible reason. I have to explain in depth.

My boyfriend is the only thing right now thats like a solace to me. 

Also it's not wrong to want to leave the nest. I'm in my late 20's wanting to branch out isn't wrong.

No I'm not looking for confirmation. Everyone has their opinions and that's fine. I'm still deciding on what to do. The whole reason I made this thread is because I'm kind of stuck between the choices of whether to go and whether it's really bad to do so.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
