Is it normal not to want your boyfriend to stay over?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half now. I will be graduating high school and moving out this summer. I will be living about an hour from my home and my boyfriends house. Due to college I wont be getting to see him that often. I've been thinking a lot about how often we would stay with each other and for how long. We've never spent the night together (my parents are really strict) so I don't even know what it will be like. I don't feel like I'm ready for him to stay with me for long periods of time. Don't get me wrong, I love him dearly and I like spending time with him, I'm just not sure how much would be too much. I have anxiety and I spend a lot of my time alone trying to stay relaxed. I feel like if we started spending that much time together I would get really stressed and wouldn't have enough time to myself. Is this normal?

    Yes, it's normal to have some anxiety over things in your future that you haven't experienced yet. Hopefully, you can communicate these things to your boyfriend.

    It is normal but you are probably over thinking the situation due to having controlling parents. Why not try and see how you feel. Experimentation is the only way to get over fears and anxieties that you are unsure about :) x
