To go off someone because of their living arrangments?

[Needsmorecake]

Ive recently made a new friend. He told me he was ' renovating his house', so i was expecting maybe a kitchen ripped out, bare floorboards etc...

Turns out he is living in a total mess of a house, im not even sure its safe. The walls have no plaster, down to the struts, wires all over the place. Some of the outside walls have nothing between the wooden joists, just the struts and the outside cladding. Some of the supporting joists dont even reach the floor as they have rotted away.

Worst of all is he has been living this way for 6 years and kind of isnt really doing anything about it now, despite saying hes doing it, hes actually not.

Its a new friendship, but i sort of feel like backing off a bit, aibu?

Run. Seriously.

I have an Uncle who lives similarly to OPs friend. He also has a close friend / companion who has never been.

He also has a lot of stuff everywhere - neewspapers etc. He doesnt even make a cuppa in his own home.

He bought a boiler many moons ago and is still yet to fit it. His house is damp and foisty and as such he smells damp and foisty.

He is ex Army - it has sent him a bit odd since he left the force, tbh and he has just become utterly lazy and unkempt. What is odd is that he is sociable and can hold down a job and likes people, is out and about every day.

Tbh there is no changing him. OP I fear your friend will be similar. This is him.
