But you are telling OP that wagering her whole life on this "what if" is okay. OP, there are other threads about red flags at the beginning. This is a red flag.

OMG people. The PP was very obviously being sarcastic.

Dating Peter Pan is fine, but you should marry and have children an adult.

If he's like this now, it will only worsen after marriage. I dated a Peter Pan, and had fun, but dodged a bullet by not marrying him (he has not changed one bit in fifteen years).

I laughed out loud at this. Very good.

You need a man friend, not a boy friend.

The love of my life is a Peter Pan. He's a bartender and lives like a teenager. Didn't marry him. No regrets on that front. I never pretended to myself that he would change. You shouldn't either.

He said his favorite meal was anything his mom cooked and was upset that he couldn't fly home to Florida every month. Plus he was comfortable making a 50k salary. This guy is in his early 30s! Things are only going to get worse OP, I'd end it.

You had me until you spoke with disgust about a 50k salary. I never gave a F about that in my dating days - I was always drawn to teachers.

The guy isn't a teacher, he installs cable for a living. I'd cut him some slack if it were a helping profession, but I can't wrap my head around a college educated guy wanting to do that for the rest of his life. I have nothing against blue collar workers as my parents work in manufacturing(but make way more than that due to being in the industry for over 20 years). I just mesh better with men in professional occupations.

He is also newly unemployed, obese, has significant debt, and doesn't seem motivated to change any of it.

Do people like this ever change?

Troll

Either turn into his mommy for a long term relative bishop or have fun and get the hell out.

Long term relative bishops are not good husband material.

You are totally nuts. It rarely works that way.

Peter Pan like a little gay pixie boy that never wants to grow up? Right now imaging an obese, uneducated, shopaholic Peter Pan is not working!

Does treating the ADHD help with motivation?

If he actually suffers from ADHD (and only a psychiatrist or psychologist can evaluate him), the meds will help him combat procrastination and follow-through on his tasks, as well as augment his working memory and decrease time management issues.

Now, if he doesn't WANT to do those things, no amount of meds will work.

PP here. I am very insulted that none of you take seriously my statements about the power of True Love. Haven't you seen Dawson's Creek or Twilight? Anything is possible if your love is true.
