This guy may be well intentioned but I couldn't help but focus on a couple of things you said he's done...(Example she took a nap the other day and he cleaned her apartment from top to bottom while she slept. Even scrubbed the bathroom out.(I need a man like that). I have always cut up D19 meat. It was a thing I did to make her feel special as a kid and teenager. Well now he cuts her meat up no matter how upscale restraunt they are at or whos company they are in.)
I agree GEL. Glad I wasn't the only one who viewed those as "parentifying." There is just something "creepy" (to me) about that set-up. If you're D was 30 and he was 50, I might not be as bothered by it, so maybe it's her age that is bugging me. Not even an adult yet and dating someone who she has....what exactly...in common with?? I understand the attraction on each end but where can this possibly head? Not that you are responsible for her dating life anymore Chrissy, but as a mom I would be concerned. As far as my own dating experience, I just can't see having a "real" R with someone more than 5-10 years older or younger than me. The generation gap starts to play a larger role. Will they get my jokes? Will they have a similar pop culture frame of reference and all sorts of stupid stuff that seems so "fluff" but would mean a lot in a long term R. Opposites may attract, but studies have shown that the more similar people are, the better off they are long term together. And I think someone else made a good point, that after having this "princess" type experience with him, even if she is taking it casually, it may really mess her up for future "normal" R's. Lots of issues with this one.
