Re: Moving out of parents house
Have you dropped any hints about it at all?
Of course you wouldn't be a bad son if you were to do it.. Just make sure you can keep on eye on them and see they're ok..

Maybe then you need to sit down one of your parents, whoever you think would be more receptive, and have a proper conversation about you wanting to move out. Make sure they realize that you are very serious and are not joking at all. Based on that parent's reaction approach the other one, and in the end have both of them sit down together and let them know once more how serious and determined you are to move out to your own place.
I don't think you're being a bad son. You mentioned your parents aren't in the need for any physical support right now ie they don't need someone to be living with them for the forseeable future, and you are willing to support them in any other way possible (just like a son who's working in US supports his parents in Pakistan). And can I mention, when you do have the conversation, please don't hesitate to clarify that moving out isn't your wife's idea and you're not doing what she wants to do. That might avoid drama in the future.
As for your wife and how she would react that's a conversation you should be having with her. Does she know of your home dynamics?

So far, I haven't had a conversation with my wife-to-be yet because I don't wanna scare her for no reason since I am planning on moving out. It would have been necessary if she was moving in with my parents but for now I never brought up the topic of discussing home dynamics to her and she thinks my parents are cool - and they really are to her and to everyone else.

Re: Moving out of parents house
Move out ASAP. You don't want to subject your wife to this cruelty.
Your parents only need you if/when they become vegetable. And even then, you can send them to the old homes where they are ''better taken care of''.
But thats just one opinion.
Re: Moving out of parents house
I agree, you need to sit down with your parents and have a proper chat about this otherwise they will be shocked and a tad upset if you just suddenly leave once your married. Atleast this way they will have a year to get their head around the idea. Also, make sure you mention that you'll be moving quite close to home like your sisters distance, that might make them feel more comfortable.
And like the other poster said, make sure you emphasisie how this is YOUR idea since parents, mothers especially, are more inclined to blame someone else as opposed to their own kid.
IA everything will work out nicely :)
Re: Moving out of parents house
finally, a guy who knows how important it is to keep wife in a separate home.! you're like a breath of fresh air on this forum! your wife is very lucky.
as for your parents, you need to talk to them seriously and tell them you have already found a house. tell them you have already signed the lease or paid the down payment. explain to them that you aren't just moving out for your wifes sake but also for theirs. you don't want your wife to interrupt or interfere in their life. its not just hard for daughter in law to adjust, but it's also stressful for mother inlaw to adjust as well to a new person living in their home. best of luck!

If it happens that you are going to end up living with your parents even after getting married, do let your wife know about what's going on in your house. Don't leave it to be a last minute surprise. The sooner she knows, the better she will be prepared mentally when moving in with her in-laws.

Why even bother that? Its not like it would matter to them much when they have become vegetables. Better to just send them to their graves than old people home right?
I sincerely hope that you are not the only child of your parent.
Re: Moving out of parents house
Even though this is a very valid reason to move out, I think you should first talk to your parents and tell them why you have decided on taking this step. Who knows, maybe this will be a wakeup call for them for them to work on their relationship.
If things still don't change between them, then at least they had it coming and are prepared for it.
Also, they might not be physically dependent on you right now, but given their age range, you should be prepared for make another living arrangement when they do need you physically. Being the only son, you might have to move in with them again so it's best you let your fiance know ahead of time and she's prepared for it.
Re: Moving out of parents house
[s]Don’t you know, leaving your parents home is gunaah-e-kabeera and it would be akin to the greatest sin in the world and you’d be damned to eternal and everlasting hell.
Don’t worry about the impact yelling and screaming and fighting and lack of privacy have on your wife-to-be and future children (hey, leave the door open to your room at night :wwnn: ) because as your parents - who are more important than God - nothing else matters and you MUST live with them :).
Remember, your wife and future kids are not important, in fact they are second-class citizens always. (Source: Ayat number 1:1: “Ignore the emotional well-being of your wife and kids, your parents (meaning the guy’s) trump every other relationship even if they are emotionally damaging you and your wife and kids. Your parents can do no wrong.” [/s]
Never mind…

^ is it snowing in Toronto again?
and on serious note. If things b/w your parents are what you have described then you would be better of living separately. You can actually move out may be 6 months or year before your marriage as that might make them fell less-devastated and they wont start hating your wife from the word GO because she "stole their son"
Even from religious prospective you wont be doing any wrong if you get separate place for your wife even if its against the wishes of your parents.

A few flurries here and there. Don't you miss the snow?
Re: Moving out of parents house
definitely have a serious convo about it with your parents (or one on one with whomever you are more comfortable with) and make sure you clear up the air and define things before you get married. you also want to make sure your parents know this is YOUR decision and not blame it on your fiance...

Re: Moving out of parents house
Could you pick up some brochures or something from a few different places you're looking at and ask your parents to review them with you and offer you their advice?
