This is crazy! If he suggested moving is as a “test run” for their relationship, our girl got a glimpse of a lifetime of essentially being a sugar mama!

Are his friends moochers, too? How do they not understand how incredibly unfair this set-up is? Maybe they don't want to admit to themselves that they're besties with a total loser.

24-year-old demands that 23-year-old girlfriend cover all expenses in shared apartment, refuses to move in if he can't live rent-free like he does with his parents: "He wants a momma, not a GF"
Living with your parents in your early adulthood is often looked down upon in the US. Most little birdies are expected to leave the nest by the time they're 18, getting their first taste of independence in college dorm rooms.

However, he still intends to keep those same perks – namely, not contributing to rent or bills – when he moves in with his girlfriend. Thankfully, she has no intention of filling the role of his mother any time soon. Scroll down for all the juicy deets.
