Does anyone live with their parents in their late 20s? How did you build boundaries with your parents and counter their expectations that you owe it to them?

I tried this and invited my parents to move in with me from india to US. Was a complete disaster, especially with Indian parents. If you’re single, it’s easier to build boundaries than if you’re married.

My direct advise - don’t live with your parents in late 20s, live nearby, keep relations on your terms and be independent. Ofcourse this is bias towards my own life experiences

Same req as D3

My parents stay with me whenever they visit from Pakistan, usually for a few months each year.

They’re super chill though, so it works out fine.

My parents are very chill. My brother lives with them. But he’s moving out soon since he got his own place. I wouldn’t mind my parents living with me but I like living by myself.
Also, Why are you living with your parents? you have a job just rent a place

Planning to move out soon but I doubt that will fix it

I live with my parents and in laws and it works fine! They help us around the house and we help them with doctors appointments, etc. it’s all about picking and choosing your battles and mutual understanding

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

I honestly might break up with my boyfriend because of dead bedroom issues. We’re 26 and he acts like it’s normal to only want to sleep together every couple of weeks. Meanwhile I could do it every day. My theory is low testosterone, but I doubt he’d be interested in doing anything about it. Oof.

Damn I cheated and ate a donut, how far does that set me back?

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

We got along great and the physical chemistry was still there. So what could be missing????
