In July i met a guy who was not my usual type but I kept an open mind and accepted a date to try to get to know more about him. I will say that we are definitely different creatures in so many ways, but what I found attractive was that he seems to be a genuinely kind, warm, giving, caring person. So opposite of my mistakes of the past. He is totally not what I am typically attracted to but surprisingly I was willing to look past all his quirks and see a person I could open up and give a try to. Luckily I did because we get along really well. He is very loving and doting and willing to give all of his time to our relationship...again opposite of my past! A great partner indeed.
So heres the problem.. we are in our late 30's. He not only has lived with his mother for the past few years "to get on his feet" but his closeness with his mother weirds me out. I am close with my parents but I dont live with them and have dinner with them everyday. I dont say "just think of her as a roomate" and I dont have a connection where my mom and I text each other all day long and go on dog walks or to adventure parks together. I feel creeped out by this umbilical cord and he thinks its totally normal.
His mom is a single parent so part of me wants to think mayyyybe this is because they are all each other have? But i cant ignore that I think a grown freakin man should not be a)living with his mom and view her as a roomate b) spend so much time together and c)think its normal! Am I totally in the wrong here??
