I'm in a tough spot right now and could really use some advice. My girlfriend and I have been together for a few years now, and we have planned living together for a year. Her lease is expiring at the end of April, and our plan was to get a one bedroom apartment right now. Last year, we had planned to move in together, but I backed out at the last minute because I was worried about leaving my family and my cat behind. I'm still feeling attached to them, especially seeing my parents and pet aging, and not sure if I'm ready for such a big step. I realize I’m also in my comfort zone but I just think it’s a huge step.
I'm 25 years old and moved in with my family a few years ago after graduating. I love my family and have been able to save a lot after college living here, and the thought of leaving them behind and watching them age just depresses me. However, my girlfriend needs a place to live, and I don't want to let her down. I promised her that we would live together, but now that it's actually happening, I'm feeling really emotional and conflicted.
Family won't let me bring my cat with me when I move in with my girlfriend either. It's really upsetting because I keep looking around at my house thinking this is the “final” time I’ll ever live here again.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I was crying this morning looking at my room for the last time. feeling like I don’t know what to do. This is a weak moment for me right now.
TL;DR:

- I'm feeling conflicted about it
- Last year, I backed out of moving in with my girlfriend at the last minute for the same reason.
