This is geared towards the Girls/ Women. Men are free to anwer too. I curious if it would be a dealbreaker for a guy in his 20's if I told you I live with parents. I have a job, just seeling for a more stable job and I plan to move out shortly. Would you still date such a man or not at all. Opinions welcome.
Fairly normal these days, especially in the UK. So difficult to get the money together for a deposit on a house. If you have to rent, why not pay the often cheaper rent your parents will accept so you can better save for your future?
My husband was 29 when I met him and still living with his parents. It did not put me off. My only worry was his mother was doing all his washing, cleaning and cooking, he didn't do a thing around the house. I very strongly point out I would not be a mother-replacement early on. Be seen to help your parents around the house if you want to avoid that potential issue with prospective partners.
My Bf turns 22 and still lives at home. In Sweden it's VERY common for people to still live at home by that age due to the fact that we lack apartments and jobs. He does have a job though.
I moved out over a year ago in the end of 2012. I don't have a job though and I kinda had to do what I could do to get out of my home.
So no, it would not be a deal-breaker. We have my place to go to to be alone and we are talking about trying to move in together at the end of this year if things are still working out fine.
I think this really depends on the culture. I think that in United States or some countries in Europe people kind of expect you to live alone by the time you are 18. On the other hand, I think that in most of the world it is also normal to leave home just before getting married (or even keep living home with your new family).
Put it this way. If someone met a very nice, understanding person who had creative hobbies and was wonderful company, would it be right to suddenly find out that they lived with their parents still and within seconds, all those other traits didn't matter anymore? I believe a person's value goes deeper than society's expectations, thats a great way to miss out on good things.
I would find it a bit cute (not in a patronizing way, positive way) for a girl to be staying with her parents at that age.
