This thread is screaming RED FLAG at me! Run, babe, run! I lived with my parents for about 5 months after I graduated....I paid them rent! It wasn't as much as I paid when I moved into an apartment soon after, but it was still rent help them cover basic utilities for adding me back into the household. While living home I paid for my own bills too. PS. I was making $9.50 working in a call center. If your guy is living home, he should be helping his parents with his expenses if he has a job. It doesn't have to be much, it just should be something. And I agree with a previous poster, if his parents are doing his laundry, cleaning after him, or making him meals outside of a family dinner, then this should be another RED FLAG! Hopefully this is not the case.
You've been dating this guy 7 months...and you say you don't do much because he doesn't have the money? Where does it go? Truly paying back debts/savings or he just doesn't have it. If you hang out at your apartment instead of his mom and dad's house, who's food do you eat at the apartment? Yours? Does he help you pay for it? At 7 months, he should still be wooing you. It's still a new relationship.
I am very opinionated on this topic because I have a friend who lives with his mom. His reason for moving back in was admirable at the time (his father died and helped his mother pay off the mortgage), but now he won't move out. Dude is 37! Even his mom is ready for him to settle down elsewhere. It's pretty pathetic. RED FLAG!
