    True. When you mix money, problems occur. I'll only put down the money to buy him off the internet. After that, he better get to workin' or get out!

    You know what I hate? These psychos never have a problem meeting someone.

    Seriously? If I was living with someone and got kicked out, my instinct would not in a million years be to move in with mom—I'd be on craigslist apt hunting and getting my life back together. IMO, if your instinct is to mooch off your boyfriend/gf or mooch of your parents, then getting kicked out of either sitch has been a long time coming.

    Yeah I hear you but if you have no money and nowhere else to go well then it's back with mom & dad, if they will take you, or else it's homeless shelters or worse.

    Hopefully she will get fed up (at everything including this thread) and say, "I'll show them all!!!"

    IMO, friends are best used for emotional/moral support and family is best for taking advantage of, um, I mean financial (including living arrangements) support.

    Maybe I'm cold-hearted (or just shy/private to a fault), but I have very few friends that I could imagine sleeping on my couch (or the other way around) in that situation without it greatly damaging the friendship. My friends are dear but I like to think we will not encourage each other to self-destruct :)

    I have couch surfed at various times and was always extremely thankful that my friends let me stay with them. I limited the amount of time I spent at each to a few nights and made dinners and bought wine in thanks. But just like food, overnight guests get pretty stale for me after about five days.

    I just read your thread about the cat. I kind of want to meet your friends, or maybe just sit at the table next to you at a restaurant and listen to the conversation :)
