Some of them are on Tubi in Canada, not sure about the U.S. though. Tubi is free which is awesome if you don't mind a few ads.

I love some trashy reality TV, but never cared for the Bachelor or Survivor or Big Brother. Yet these ones have gone on forever so somebody likes them! Rainbowandroses, do you remember the real trashy VH1 shows? That ride ended with a murder. Those shows were insane and were the golden age of reality trash imo.

This may come across harsh but she's not giving ready to be in a serious relationship energy here. To just have fun? Sure. But you shouldn't even have to negotiate this, it's common sense for someone who wants to see what can really come of committing and seeing where it can go. She doesn't have to pledge her life, but needing to be told the dude she was still sleeping with when she first started dating you is off the table for sleep overs goes without saying !

Canadians, remember FashionTelevision?! Lol. Can't hear this song without thinking about it.

The only one in this scenario who deserves a break is the poor baby that is coming from this union of great minds.

The reason I brought that up is you come across rather immature for your age and I think that happens a lot when people are insulated too much by their parents. You trivialize money because natural consequences aren't really on you. You tiptoe around your bf saying some very serious things to you because you are so accustomed to doing what you think other people want you to.

He is right that he isn't in a position to date though. He needs to be focusing on his mental health and basics of survival on his own. You can be supportive of him, but that's about it. If someone mentions plans of killing themselves like he has to you, for me that's an automatic call to 911. I'm not playing. That is beyond "let's chat and I'm hold your hand and listen, hon". Thats serious business. I think too you need to consider why you chose this, you knew this person was not in a stable point in his life when you got together (living in his car!) yet you dived in anyways. Why? Is it because you are living at home and are scared if you date someone who is standing on their own feet they will expect that of you too? Time to get real with yourself here too.

She posted anon because she felt silly asking it! Lol. I was thinking of this skit today. How many people are over thinking "don't stare directly at the sun" today? STARE DIRECTLY AT THE SUN !! 😆

It's a very strange situation to put yourself in. I'm going to guess there's no common law where you are living?

I'm curious why your mom keeps enabling you to be cloistered away from the realities of life? Is she super emotionally dependent on you? Do you know why you yourself are emotionally unavailable for a relationship? I'm not wanting to analyze but damn, something is going on there. You are currently living as a "princess". Your life is being subsidized by someone else so you can pursue your wants. It has given you an extremely narrow view of what is actually possible for you. You are hyper fixated on passion projects. Some men may not care when they see this coming, but again, it really narrows down your options! They may not care if you have a career making big bucks, but a lot of them do go for someone who can carry her own. And the ones who are comfortable taking on a dependent fully usually have strings attached. I'm not sure if that's what you are going for in a man? What ARE you looking for in a partner?

Yes, I have one aunt who is like this. She always has been, even with her own children and grandchildren. She will jab at you for no reason at all. She even took digs when my mom was ill. I've come to accept that she simply has a mean streak. And the funny thing is, her tolerance for the slightest critism is paper thin. She will turn on the waterworks. Your cousin is a Stampy!

Ugh I hope it gets resolved soon and you have good weather for driving. I can't believe she told while you were en route!

I evaded committing to anyone for big chunks of my dating life. When I wanted to, I stepped up to make sure someone knew I wanted to see how far we could go. So personally, I'm basing my opinion on my own experiences on that end and the other. I watched lots of commitment ready men wave bye, and for good reason, I wasn't looking for what they wanted.

I agree with Kwothe. And a lot of other good responses here. But that's to the point. If his interest was high enough, you wouldn't be guessing on it. You'd know. Him being luke warm with getting around to communicating with you, the invite to his place and Netflix and chill situation, the feeling you get....that seems pretty classic "let's have fun and have sex if you are down".

He's home! I have a feeling you will be back. 😄
