Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my boyfriend of four years broke up with me because he wanted some independence. He moved back into his parents' house. FML
Today, my husband told me the only reason we're still together is because he can't afford to move out. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he never thought we had a future together. He just wanted to move in together so he could get "cheaper rent for a while." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
Today, after a year of living with my boyfriend at our new place, he told me that he wants to sell our house and live in a trailer, so he can be closer to his mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML
Today, the guy I have loved for seven years asked me to move in with him. Turns out he only did so because he needed someone to pay the rent since he's quit his job. FML
Today, my boyfriend informed me that the mother of his children, from whom he is not divorced yet, is moving back into his house because she broke up with her boyfriend and has nowhere to go. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML

I guess that means you have to move in with 3 men now.

So is there a reasonable explanation as to why it's a problem that he's living with 2 women? Or is it simply because they possess vaginas? I assure you that vaginas aren't magical commodities that men can't resist sticking their dicks in if they are in the vicinity of one without their girlfriend there to stop them. I'm sure it makes your boyfriend very happy that you are so trusting and think so highly of him, especially after such a long time

The reason it's a problem is a very simple fact of human nature. When two people with mutual sexual compatibility spend enough time together most will eventually get to the point where they want to get naked together. Yes I know she said two female room mates. Does anyone really think that over an extended time of living with them he will NEVER be alone with either (or both) of them long enough to get naked and busy?

72- Just because someone is alone with a person of the opposite sex (or same sex, depending on orientation) doesn't mean that they will have sex eventually. Even if OP's boyfriend is attracted to his roommate(s), it's possible to not have sex with someone you're sexually attracted to. Humans have self-control. If they didn't, the. would be ******* every single person they are attracted to.

I can see why living with more people would cut down bill costs etc, couldn't he have asked you to live there too? Means one more person cutting costs and you would be living together, just with other people ;)

I'm confused why you've kept dating a guy for 8 years who lives with his parents. One thing I'm learning as I go along is that sometimes you gotta cut those types loose so they can focus on themselves and get to a better financial position independently. Unless you guys were 10 years old when you started dating and he's now 18. In which case, maybe branch out and see what other boys are like.

I feel a crucial part of this story is missing: where do YOU come in? Why exactly didn't you and him move in together somewhere, what can/can't YOU afford? Is it perhaps because you're both early-mid 20's, he's only been working for two years and you're still studying/have no income, so he can't support the both of you? It's entirely possible that he can't afford to live on his own, but living with two other people means it'll only cost him 1/3 of the full price. Also, sharing a house/apartment with roommates of another gender doesn't mean he'll inevitably end up cheating on you. It might help a lot if you just get to know his roommates and see for yourself if you can trust them.

Unless he is like 18 years old I think the living with his parents for the last eight years instead of living with OP should be the red flag here.

Hi OP here. Just to clarify a few things: we are both 28 and I am currently living alone, so am more than capable of providing for myself financially. My boyfriend has lived on his own before but moved back in with his parents three years ago to save money. I was away for a work training event when my boyfriend text me telling me that a new hire at his work was struggling financially and needed a new housemate, so he'd be moving in with her at the end of the week. This upset me for two reasons, firstly he has continually told me he couldn't live with women as "they're too high maintenance", and secondly he jumped at the chance to move out when someone he'd known for less than 48 hours asked but made excuses when I asked. As it is he's currently paying more in rent, bills etc. than he would have if he moved in with me, so saving money has nothing to do with it. It also greatly upset me that there was no discussion, and that he didn't take my feelings into account, nor does he think he's done anything wrong. I trust him completely, so I'm not worried about him cheating, however his housemates are quite unwelcoming and have told my boyfriend that they don't want him having guests over to stay. I'll admit that I've been more emotionally needy over the past two years, due to the loss of both my sister and nephew, so perhaps this is why he doesn't want to move in with me. I am now at the stage where I doubt he's going to ever change and need to decide whether I want to continue down this path, however for the time being I don't feel ready to lose another person in my life. Thanks for the all kind messages and support!

The "boyfriend of 8 years" is what raises a big red flag with me. After 8 years you aren't dating any more. You are either friends our spouses. The dating period ended long ago. Heck, if you did live together, depending where you live you could actually be considered legally married via common law.

It sounds like he just doesn't want to live with you for whatever reason. Maybe you are a bitch, or a nit-picker. 8 years is an awful long time to be with someone and not live together. It seems like a lack of commitment. Maybe it is time to move on. How could you ever get married if you never know if you can handle living together? Sorry for your losses. That has to be tough, but it has been two years. You can't let that control your life. Good luck.
