But I think, your guy has a different problem. He's CHEAP!! CRAZY CHEAP. He didn't move out til he was 36, red flag number one. Apparently, everything is too expensive for him, cause he never took care of his own bills for 17 extra years in his adult life!
He probably will never grow up, unfortunately for you. He was coddled for far too long.

 It's ok if he doesn't want marriage and kids, lots of men don't, but if thats what you want then you have a problem. Many couples break up over this issue. Don't hang around thinking you can convince him to do the happy families thing with you because chances are you won't but make it clear to him how much you want these things so he has the opportunity to compromise if it means staying with you.
