This is a dumb question but will it be a problem if I still live with my parents? See in our culture (igbo culture) it is not advisable to move out until one is in the process of getting married. They know and love my fiancee and Im in the final stages of getting our own apartment when he comes. Im just so nervous. You know Naija. They can be very unpredictable. I just dont want any surprises. Any suggestions will do.

Many don't have their own places due to the economy here , Maybe if you send him info on your top 2 choices and pics. He can show that you are looking at one of them ? Just make sure he knows everything he can about your family they like to ask a lot of questions about your family.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
