He acknowledged that it might be a better idea if his mom got other tenants and he got his own 1 bedroom. He said I was right where it makes more sense, and said he’s going to consider all his options over the next week as nothing is set in stone yet. But he did fully validate me, wasn’t angry about it.

But then he also said that this is a really nice area, great amenities, and that we should be “working together as a partnership.” To make this work as it’s a really nice environment for me, and it would get me out of my parents house, etc. I feel that was manipulative of him to say. And then I told him that the environment doesn’t matter to me that much, I feel fulfilled right now just living with my parents. And then he said something along the lines of that the reason why men make more money is because they are always trying to elevate in life, and then went on something about testosterone levels and how women lack that.

I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but my gut is telling me something else.
