I’m 28 and have been dating my partner, who is 43, for almost a year. A few days ago, I mentioned having some friends over and thought it would be nice if her friends came too so everyone could meet.
She hesitated, so I asked what was wrong. She said the issue wasn’t meeting friends, but that she’d feel embarrassed because I still live in a one bedroom apartment at almost 30.
That caught me off guard. I’ve never seen it as a problem. My place is spacious, with a living room, dining area, and kitchen. I make a decent living, I just don’t see the point in paying a lot more rent for space I won’t use.
