what.

I’d suggest trying to look at the bigger picture and prioritize the issues in your life. First and foremost you need a place to stay-unless you’re working it’d be best to try to remain at your family’s house. Come up with a plan to get your education, talk to your father and tell him you’re not in a position to move out yet. However if he’s is inflexible and unreasonable, then you need to make alternate arrangements.

If you need to get your own place, find a job then that should be your focus above all else. Once you’ve settled your income situation, then you can think about relationships. I’ve been there so I know how it is-the desire to be with/date someone will always be there, however if your life is unstable then it’ll put a huge strain on your relationship and can sometimes destroy a good thing.

If you end up living with someone you date and are not self-sufficient, you’re at their mercy. They could grow sick of you, cheat, throw you out in the worst case. It’s very rare to find a person who does not let you down, who truly cares for you, esp. in our day and age where many people are selfish and petty. Once you no longer need to rely on anyone but yourself, you’ll have the freedom to walk away if things go South.

I recall when I was in a similar situation-I had little to offer and it took me a long time to get myself stable. Also if I ended getting married/having kids, I’d be a slave in a job I hated, supporting a family that I’d probably regretted because I always want to go further in life. Which is why I’m glad I never took that road. Once I do reach my goals I’ll be in an great position to have a family if I chose to and I’ll retain my independence and freedom and not be stuck in a job I hated and couldn’t escape from. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
