Feeling Bittersweet...why?

So, I just started switching out my winter clothes for my summer clothes. At the same time, I realize that I have lived in the same house for 40 years. ( yes, I realize that may sound weird, but it’s a cultural thing in my family that you live with your parents until you are married. So today, as I was putting stuff into boxes and bags, I got a little teary-eyed and bittersweet. I realize that the next time I open up these boxes, I will no longer be living in this house, and I will be married. It’s not cold feet, it’s just kind of a weird feeling that I can’t describe. Or maybe, it is just PMS.

Does anyone else who is culture has them living with their parents until marriage experience the same feeling? I feel kind of weird even saying this

Its not really our culture, but I will be living with my parents until the wedding due to my current job circumstances. I'm sooo ready to move out and in with my FH though. I can't wait until I can start packing.

Same! I have a culture thing which has me in my parents house until marriage. I was a little bummed when we pushed the wedding back a bit, but I know the feeling your going through. It's like I'm ready to go, but also so use to being here. The other day my mom asked me to help her with something and she ended with "since you wont be here this time next year" and I swear I almost cried! I'm the youngest of 4 and last one to leave the house! I'm sure my dad is ready to be an empty nester! Lol

Change isn't always easy! You're closing this chapter of your life and preparing for a new one. Starting this new chapter can be daunting, so don't feel like it's weird

I live with my parents and started packing up my stuff and started moving out into my grooms family home. It does feel odd. I usually compare it to dorms. When I moved into college dorms I would come home on holidays and some weekends to my room again. it's like I'm gone but yet I'm not because I come back to still my stuff and my room. But this time it's different because I'm gone for good I'm really not coming back to it
