Would you date someone whose mother, father, or both lived with them because the parents were unable to afford their own place for whatever reason? The adult you would be dating does not have financial problems but took the parents in because no one else could. It may take a few years before the parents can move out (if they ever do). Dealbreaker or no?

Are you sure its not the other way around? No I wouldn't have a problem with it. Now if we were married then I would have a problem with in laws living with us.

It could be either a man or woman taking in their parents.

Yes, but it would be a small red flag. I'd look for signs that they're tethered to their parents, needing them involved with everything etc.

As far as male living with parents vs female living with parents: there is obviously a stigma attached to most males in any normal dating/relationship scenario, regardless of the financial situation.

Yes, as long as it wasn't a forever arrangement.

I probably would. If he was doing it just to help them out, then yes. If he'd never completely cut the apron strings, that'd be different. Privacy wouldn't be an issue as I have my own place and with my dogs can't really do sleepovers elsewhere anyway unless I board them.

For me it would be a case by case basis. Many people have had to move in with their parents, because they hit a bump in the road financially, or their parents had to move in with them for health reasons and they need to look after them. Not everyone who lives with their parents is not a bum and not looking for work. I don't know honestly, as long as I have my own place, I really don't care. As far as I am concerned there will always be privacy, cause they can always be at my place if need be, which doesn't bother me. I know for many people it can be a problem or not fit their standards of what they are looking for, but if that's the only issue, and she makes me happy and she is great company, wouldn't bother me at all.
