Dating and having a live-in partner has its own differences. A couple beginning to live together basically means they’re now living life as a married couple essentially and that alone has a lot of responsibilities to take care of like expenses for the house, food for themselves, family planning(if they want kids), etc. their relationship as a couple would no longer be just about seeing each other and get lovey dovey because now they have to think beyond that and that’s taking responsibilities caring for each other. So yes, MC’s dad is justifiably concerned bc MC and ML might have been moving too fast considering their relationship is not even a year old, and the fact that MC’s dad hasn’t even met who’s ML yet… ( ̄へ ̄)tbh if I was a parent and my child confessed that they’re dating somebody whom I don’t even know the name of and suddenly suggests living with them raises a lot of alarms of concern for me.
father was ok with his child dating but not ok with him living with his lover
