Today, my boyfriend of almost six years asked me to move in with him. I assumed he meant that he was finally moving out of his parents' house and had found a place for us to live. No, it turns out he means he wants me to move in with him at his parents' place. FML

Free food, no housework or bills. Sounds like a win to me.

U already like weak men if you stayed in a relationship for that long and he is still living with his parents. So go ahead and move in. He obviously has no plans on growing up.

I lived with my boyfriend at his parents house for a few months while we tried to come up with better jobs and money. Glad I did cuz we ended up breaking up after realizing we couldn't stand living together

Hey everyone.. Just to let you know, he's 36 and I'm 29. I moved in for about two weeks but found I couldn't handle it. We've broken up and to be honest, I'm kind of glad this all happened; it helped me work out that he was all wrong for me.

Bullet:dodged. If by 36 he can't become independent as a man then you have no reason to believe he will change later.

What is interesting is that in India it is the norm for a wife to move in with the husband and in laws. If you disagree to do so, you are a bitch with has been corrupted by Western values. These cultural differences are amusing.

Not to troll or argue, but for some religions it's normal for a whole familial unit to live under one roof for their whole lives. My city's mayor lives with his parents for that exact reason. The parents live upstairs, their adult child in the basement, then the son moves out into his own home and his parents then live in his basement. Just because someone does not live alone shouldn't mean he's pathetic.

well really this is america and the norm here is if here 36 living with his parents for no medical or religious reasons (I think op would have said if there were) then he's a loser that op should have dropped 6 years ago. My father is one of those never left home guys, I know what I am talking about, love him to death but its a type and they have huge issues.

Remember that cultural norms vary. So just because in one culture offspring continue to live with their parents well into adulthood does not mean that other cultural norms and expectations are irrelevant. If this person belongs to a culture where an adult is expected to have their shit together enough to live apart from their parents, then it's perfectly normal to assume the OP dodged a bullet.

88 Oh I agree. At no point was I suggesting that she wasn't being reasonable. I was merely saying that it is interesting to note how the same situation can evoke completely different responses given the culture you belong to.

She doesn't live in India, she lives in New Zealand. That means she grew up with New Zealand's cultures, not India's. in order to be "corrupted" she would've had to be of Indian culture first.

took you to move into his PARENTS house to find out something doesn't feel right..?

Oddly when my grandmother was young it was the other way around that living alone meant you were creepy and weird and living with your parents until marriage was the norm. That being said curious did he never move out or just move back home due to financial issues? I live at my mom's for now because i am saving up for my own place after having to give up my too expensive apartment.

Generally It would have been better to abstain in the first place.
