With the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting many lives, couples are being forced to re-evaluate their priorities and make tough decisions about their relationships.
For one young woman, the question is whether she should move in with her boyfriend to save rent money, or hold out for a more traditional wedding with her family.
Her boyfriend's suggestion was met with a promise of marriage, but she's hesitant to give up her dream of a big, celebratory send-off from her parents' house.
According to her boyfriend, she's being 'petty and inconsiderate' for refusing to consider cohabitation, but she's not convinced that's the right approach.
Ultimately, the decision is hers to make, but experts say it's essential to communicate her needs and expectations clearly to her partner.
As she navigates this difficult decision, she may want to consider finding more practical ways to celebrate her transition to independence, while still keeping her family happy and safe.
