I (35 M, Toronto Canada) have been living at home for 2 years now and even though the topic of living situation hasn’t ever come up on a date, I’m noticing lately that I’m a little insecure about it. I’ve struggled to find work last year and made a career change which has helped me tremendously (marketing to building maintenance).
I currently live in the suburbs and met a girl recently who seems really nice. She mentioned not living with her parents in passing and the idea crossed my mind about me living at home. I’ve read some posts about women making that a dealer breaker at this age so I figured I’d ask myself as well.
Ive made great progress in my new career, pay my parents a small rent every month to help out, make OK money (around 75k) and even found a new part time job where I clean city parking lots. I eat healthy, save rigorously, workout everyday, jog, go to therapy etc. but my living situation keeeps coming up as an insecurity of mine. I genuinely want to move out but I do also feel like this is something I also overthink in dating.
Am I overthinking this?
