That a woman can be single and live at home but will be judged. Yet if she meets a man she is seen as successful and high achieving because she is in a relationship and living with a man? Yet if she found herself single she would be back in her original position.
I say this because I know a lady who was 38 and in this exact position. She was judged a lot. Then she met someone and suddenly she was successful and accepted.
Aibu to think this is messed up ?
AIBU?
To find this quite sad?

Yes, living at home with parents.
I just find it really sad. That a woman can be deemed as a spinster, loser, must be something wrong with her maybe autism because she lives at home and is single but as soon as she meets someone, she is successful and accepted. I have seen the judgements on here but also seen it offline many a time.

Living at home with the parents is the bit that's judged. At 38 that's Loser territory. She should have a place of her own. Preferably mortgaged.
Having a boyfriend or not isn't interesting at all. Being independent and not needing a man to gain housing is.
