Reading of your friend's issues I'm reminded yet again I'm from a different time.

30-40 years ago people didn't rush into moving in together, they could easily afford to live on their own.

And because of that it was easier to move out too.

Wages were higher, debts were lower. So much less stress because there wasn't the financial stress.

It just seems romance used to be easier then.

Now decisions are so fraught
