Why would you do this?

[Combover]

30 yo guy, no kids, unattached. Living in London with City job (and living in posh area) but goes home to parents’ town every weekend... Why?!

Sports club/team was my first thought too.

Maybe his wife lives there.

Fresh air and a slower pace of life?

I assume he has friends there and not in the City.

What did he say when you asked him?

Agree with a few PPs. He may already have a wife/girlfriend. If he never sees you at weekends this would be a red flag. Also he is not that into you. Sorry.

Habit ?
Always done this / expected of him by parents ?

How has it 'gone a bit weird'? In what way?

Standing Sunday lunch with parents and siblings?
Friends from school/college days have moved 'back home'.

My cousin (hospital doctor) gos home every weekend he can, he doesn't like big city living but obviously all the big hospitals are there and not in his sleepy home town.

I've got a friend who does this - his Dad is really poorly but he won't talk about it. There may be a perfectly reasonable explanation- talk to him.

For "visiting his parents" read "to be a parent with his wife and kids"

Have you asked him why? Does he call you whilst there?

If it's gone weird, probably best to ditch him. The fact that you're asking a bunch of random strangers to guess the motivations of someone they have never met rather than just asking him yourself suggests that maybe communication between you is not the best.

Perhaps he enjoys being looked after by his mother?
(WARNING! WARNING!)

How long have you been seeing him? Has he ever suggested you go too? If not, and it's been a while, then I'd say he has someone back home as well and is playing you.

Because he prefers to be there with his family than in the city with you? The question is why - is your relationship floundering?

Is going hom actually to his wife and kids not his mum and dad?

How has it gone wierd? We need more details

In some cultures it is expected to visit parents once a week. My DH who is Chinese tells me that several of his friends in Singapore are expected to stay overnight at their parents' home every weekend

Another one thinking he takes his washing with him!

You’re dating him? Are you sure he’s single?

Well, my first husband used to do exactly this. Because I was his fiance, and I still lived in our home town.

I don't think any red blooded young male, would blow off his girlfriend (and sex) for time with his parents. No way.

If he is genuinely NEVER seeing you at the weekend and his parents aren’t dependent on him in some way I’m afraid he either a) is cheating b) is not that keen on your relationship. Really sorry to be so blunt, but I think those are probably the only two explanations.

Many people choose to spend lots of time with their parents but in the early stages of a relationship I think most would prioritise the relationship (unless parents are ill).

He's married.

Works in London and lives centrally during the week because the commute is too long but goes home to his wife every weekend.

She doesn't want to live in London because she'd prefer to be near her friends and family and she has a good job locally and/or kids.

Many of my London-dwelling friends (mid-late 20s) go home to their parents at weekends. Several day they hate living in London!
