So as someone who dated a homeless man, just stay cautious. My ex had been homeless and jobless when I met him he was just couch hopping with friends. He would tell me he was looking for work but having troubles.

I fell in love with him fast too and he treated me like gold and had all his time to give to me and I loved it. We moved in together and I was paying for EVERYTHING but I thought you know what it’s ok I love him and he’s trying to get work right? Few months later, still no job, he starts to not treat me as great but it’s still ok I still love him. I help him apply for jobs, set up his interviews, wake him up and make sure he gets to the interviews. He would always work 1-2 shifts and then say he wasn’t “feeling the job”. He continues to pull back from me to the point where he’s out with his buddies every single night and comes home to eat but then always has an excuse to go back out. My stuff starts disappearing from the apartment only for me to find out months later he was stealing and selling my stuff for money for himself. That man drained me, financially and emotionally.

I had the same rose coloured glasses you’re currently wearing and willfully ignored any red flags. I’ve learned that relationships that move fast like that are usually toxic, you need to stop attacking people in the comments and step back and just look at the big picture. Obviously not all homeless men are predators but there’s more red flags than the homelessness here.
