Leave my boyfriend?

Hey guys. Lately I have been having a lot of issues with my boyfriend and am unsure what to do. We have been dating for over four years. He is 24 and I am 22. He was my first boyfriend and I am completely head over heels for this guy. Lately though, he has been doing things that have been making me rethink our relationship. We are planning on moving in together for the first time this fall. Last week, he told me he wants his friend, who I do not like and he doesn't like me, to move in with us. It would be him and his girlfriend whom I have never met. I was shocked that my bf would say this. We are financially stable and able to afford a place on our own, and his friend has no job or savings. I feel like he would just be mooching off of us the whole time. I thought after four years it would be appropriate for just us to live together alone, am I wrong? Also, my bf and my dad got in a huge fight a few days ago and may dad flipped out on him. They have always had a good relationship but (I think) my bf was being rude to my dad and disrespectful. However, my bf blames my dad and bad talks him even though my dad has helped him and his family with overwhelming generosity. His family does not have a lot of money and my dad has helped them get cars and tools for my bf's dad to be able to work. The final straw happened today. My bf, who is not currently in school or doing much of anything, pretty much quit his job today. His job that I helped him get. I know the CEO and put in a good word for him. I was super mad because I put my word out there for him and I feel like he disrespected me by just up and leaving, so now the company had no time to find a replacement. He claims that he has too much going on right now and does not want to work full time. I have NO idea what he has so much to do of that he cannot even work part time. I am a full time student, work part time at a retail store, and am constantly taking side jobs of babysitting and animal sitting. I am constantly busy and feel like I am the only one making an effort. I want children one day with hopes of being a stay at home mom. We have talked about this and he keeps saying he wants to be the one to work, but I am seeing no effort from him. I love this man more than anything but am so confused as to what I need to do in my life right now. Also, not that I would ever cheat on him, but I met this new guy at work who I am feeling crazy about. He is cute, respectful, and makes me laugh and smile, and most importantly, is interested in me. Tips?

At 22 years of age, you have the world at your finger tips. I can't tell you whether or not you should stay with your boyfriend, but I can tell you to believe what he says. In other words, if he says he does not want to work full time, "Believe Him." Don't make excuses, just accept it as a fact for him. You don't have to judge him either. I would not want to live with his unemployed friend either. You are correct, he will likely be "mooching off" you. Good Luck with your decision

Dear Katie, Wait to move in together. It seems like you guys are moving in together for different reasons. Maybe yours is to take that next step and become even closer to him, and his is more for practical reasons. When you move in together it should not be for financial reasons, or even for the reason of more privacy, it should be because you can not wait to share every bit of your life with this other person whom you love. Good luck with everything.
