I want to date. But I constantly hear horror stories of people being in relationships where their partner just CAN’T take care of themselves. Not “won’t.” They can’t. They can’t clean up after themselves. They can’t wash dishes. They can’t do laundry. They can’t even practice basic hygiene.

I want to know my partner is capable of living alone, and not needing someone else to clean and take care of them. But there’s not really a way to figure out if someone can take care of themselves (until you start living with them, but by then you’re in deep.)
