Well, I'll be someone's friend if they're going through a really rough patch. I'll provide emotional support from a distance. But I've been down this road before, and trying to date someone who's not in a stable living situation is never going to end well.
- adkadskhj 6y agoYea and i think your statement is meaningfully different than what i described - which is to say you're a friend during a _rough patch_, it has an end. However we've all seen people who have "rough patches" repeatedly. It's a never ending rough patch. They're the people who think everyone else is a jerk, but not realizing that maybe _they_ are. Regardless, i think we're in agreement, i just could have worded everything better haha. Carry on friend :)
- offtop5 6y agoAs a last point. This is more economical, but I've met tons of young adults in their early twenties who simply can't move out since rent is outrageous. The issue here is if your parents are abusive, You're simply screwed. I would never judge someone for having a nasty attitude towards life, towards everything if trapped in that type of situation. At the same time my biggest red flag when it comes to dating is if the person has a stable living situation. If someone's 28 and fights their parents every morning, I don't judge them but I know their mind won't be right for a relationship. Once upon a time, I was going through an eviction and the girl I was dating broke it off for the same exact reason. My mind wasn't in a good place.
