    I told my friend that I don’t have the emotional capacity to help with the issues he’s currently dealing with. More than happy to hang out and give him a space where he can decompress, but that’s the best I can do.

    He understood, which is great.

    My therapist agrees:

      Reading of your friend’s issues I’m reminded yet again I’m from a different time.

      30-40 years ago people didn’t rush into moving in together, they could easily afford to live on their own.

      And because of that it was easier to move out too.

      Wages were higher, debts were lower. So much less stress because there wasn’t the financial stress.

      It just seems romance used to be easier then.

      Now decisions are so fraught
