There's living at home because you have to, and living at home because you don't want to grow up. The first is ok.
Amen, Anne. Amen. Chelsers too hones in on this point... because if a guy is used to, let's say, paying his parents a few hundred (if even that) a month for living expenses and then gets married and suddenly it's like, "WHAT??? I have to put 99% of my money towards LIVING EXPENSES??? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING. I never did that with mommy and daddy, and no one's telling me what to do now!" You'll be headed for big problems. And, let's get real, probably divorce court. This is why it's important to me to find someone who's had a dose of "real life". Nowadays especially, I DO understand living with family (seeing as times are tough), but I wouldn't be able to work with someone who was used to having everything done for him--including paying the bills, cooking, and laundry. I know it's HARSH but c'mon... (now if if I were a stay-at-home mom and he were the only one working, I could see assuming most of the household responsibilities...) But if I'm working full-time too... I expect a partnership when it comes to the in's and out's of everyday living.
