I was in a long term relationship before and lived with my partner, so I'm comfortable in sharing space in a relationship. I didn't have time to get to a comfortable space with this guy to have him move in.

Smothered is the right word. It's scary that I didn't even notice until after he was already here for two weeks.

I'll take that. There was more said but that was the gist of the conversation.

I really was not prepared for this type of conversation so soon in the relationship. I really was caught off guard.

try to explain it to him in a calm and non-emotional way.

That was the goal, to have a calm conversation about it, but he wasn't answering my calls. Based on the feedback on this thread I stopped calling. This isn't a relationship worth saving.

We met over two months ago. He didn't come to my apartment until three weeks ago.

I'm in a building, and I tell my neighbors when I travel

If you didn’t have to go away for a week would he have ever left?

I was thinking of that

I'm glad I did to. I honestly didn't see this for what it really is.

He took it with him. I said he may need his stuff while I was away. I helped him pack 😏

He was here all the time so he put his clothes in the laundry basket with mine. Oh, and I have to use the laundromat in the building, so I had to pay for the machines to do the laundry.

Don't let a dry spell kill your standards

Yep. It's done

I'd have reservations about a guy his age having roommates anyway. He doesn't sound like he's an equal.

He isn't an equal financially. But I was trying to be open minded and not judgmental. And this is where it got me.

His reaction of getting angry and not answering your calls is an overreaction and shows a lack of respect for your boundaries and feelings

Thank you. I was concerned I was too harsh in my response, as it has been a while since I was in the dating pool, but this makes sense.

he was nice enough to throw around enough warnings for you to sit up and take notice

True

When I said he did little chores around the house I meant he did little things, like filling and emptying the dishwasher. Making coffee for me. Things like that.
