Met an amazing man but is this strange?

He’s only lived with someone for 5 months and he’s 37.

His longest relationship has been 18 months and his partner asked him to move out 5 months after moving in.

I think he’s great but I have been known to miss red flags in the past. Even if it’s not a red flag, I want to here my wits about me. What do you think?

Op I met now DH o line I was 29 and he was 36. Neither of us had with a partner before. I'd l tr but one at uni and longish distance with a guy with commitment issues. There's nothing wrong with either of us.
We got married in 2013, 18 month after meeting, have 3 kids now there's still nothing wrong with us 😂

I’m 31 and have never lived with a man, I’ve had relationships and had children but ex refused to live together. Didn’t know people would consider this a red flag Confused

I only said it because it was the exact scenario with my friend and her now DH and he told her a few months in he was autistic and it just came to mind as I was typing. I meant it as in, there might not be something red flag wrong with him, he might have many reasons.

Lots of people live with partners for the wrong reasons - i.e. because they need somewhere to live.

When I met my first long term BF I was in the process of buying a flat. Obviously I wanted to live in it - it would have been too small for him to move in to as well although we probably spent about five nights a week together.

If I hadn't bought the flat and was still in a crap flat share when we met, I probably would have stayed at his a lot and eventually moved in.

I'd still be the same person either way.

Circumstances count for a lot.

There's nothing wrong with this guy based on only one live-in relationship.

If this is him, I don't think he is over his ex yet: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/3815872-Should-I-tell-her-I-want-her-back-Mates-say-defo-no
