Should You Date Someone Living with Their Parents?
The Situation
"He lives with his parents and has no plans to move out"
The Brutal Truth
He’s not ready for adult responsibilities or to invest in a relationship. Living at home means he’s likely comfortable and avoids the stress of independence, which isn’t a sign of readiness for a committed relationship.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might feel the need to reassure him or convince him to be more independent, believing it's their job to fix him. This is wrong because it puts your self-worth in the hands of his choices and delays your path to healthier love.
💭 Something to Reflect On
