S/O Living with Grandma
So ladies. I have a hypothetical for you for a male friend of mine. He owns his own home (this is actually the second home he's owned). He's lived on his own or with same-age roommates since he left for college. His parents went through a nasty divorce and his mom was left destitute. She works but makes minimum wage and can't afford her own place. She is in her 60s, so going back to school, etc. isn't really in the cards.
He fixed up the basement for her, with a separate entrance. The only thing the share is the kitchen, but she's rarely there. She also is extremely discrete if he has guests over and has agreed not to come up to the kitchen area.
The mom is saving and does plan to move out at some point. She does not have any health issues or the like that require him to care for her.
So what say you, would you date him?
Re: S/O Living with Grandma
This is pretty similar to my current situation. My mom retired early and moved into my basement, which is fixed up like an apartment. We share the kitchen, but that's about it. Honestly, she's hardly ever here and eventually, when she figures out what she wants to do with her life, will move out. In my opinion, I think a parent living with an adult child in HIS house is different than an adult child living in HER house, kwim?
So I'd date him...but I'm also hoping guys will understand my situation as well.
Yep. From reading what you wrote he sounds like a responsible, independent, kind man that cares for his family. All good qualities, IMO.
The only thing that I would be hesitant about is if he turned out to be a mama's boy or if his mother has attachment issues/problems with him dating. But I would definitely give him a chance.
