Eve is making plans to move out. Some of the reasons she told me make perfect sense for a 20-year-old, others make a lot of sense in general and were ones that I was planning on discussing with her myself. Her reasons include that she wants to be more independent and eliminate drama from our relationship. I agree that her moving out will do that, since it will very effectively buffer our personal lives. Looking at things without emotion, I am the lynchpin that connects two otherwise disjoint worlds. If she no longer lives with me, then those worlds again become disjoint and therefore able to coexist. On the positive side, she has been able to move out of her parents’ home and is establishing herself as an individual. Her choice to move out is a very adult one and I wish her all the best. She’s 20, so by definition, she has some more growing up to do.
