Moved to new apartment without boyfriend's approval

Boyfriend felt frustrated and hurt by my sudden decision to move into a new apartment, feeling like I was trying to mess him up and not considering his financial situation

What I wish I knew
"To communicate more openly and honestly with my boyfriend about my plans and feelings"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be open and honest with your partner about your plans and feelings, and try to consider their perspective and needs"
