[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the first poster, but how old are you OP? Are you even in what you bring to the relationship or are you much further ahead? Either way still no, but you seem like you like him. Are you worried about scarcity? Do you have low self esteem?[/quote]

I'm 28. I'm working on my master's degree. He seemed nice at first. I didn't know about the details I've posted til just this weekend. I don't like what I've learned. I'm trying not to be judgemental but I don't like how he makes his living and I can't figure out if I'm being snobby or what.[/quote]

You are definitely not being snobby or judgmental. You are doing everything right with getting your masters and presumably a good job to follow. At your age, you should be dating someone in a similar position (at least with a sound income), who is managing their life responsibly, and is not relying on their mother to subsidize their life.

How do you feel about the prospect of you and him moving in together and him filling your house with his garage sale crap while it sits and sits because no one wants to buy it? Or when he has no money to contribute to the mortgage or bills, because he's always had someone else to pay? He will replace his mother with you. He will not change. He will not progress his life. He honestly sounds like one of those people you see on MTV True Life or some TLC special and the rest of the world just marvels at the peculiarity of his life and also at whomever he baits into becoming his significant other.

Cut and run.[/quote]

Back to add: If he doesn't drive, does he expect that you'll start transporting him to these garage sales? Does he want you to become his "co-worker" in all this? I bet he's going to eventually tell you he also occasionally dumpster dives for things to sell.[/quote]
