Quote:
For Europeans, family stays together and helps out one another through thick and thin. I understand why some folks move out (example my friend who works and lives in Van but parents live in the interior). However, others have parents living in Vancouver and they still choose to move out simply because they "can't deal with parents".
Anyone want to pitch why they chose to move out?

I had the chance to spend a brief amount of time away from home when I was university. Once you move away, you begin to really appreciate the freedom. It's not just about being able to "come and go as you please"; it's about being accountable to myself and only myself.
And I'll state the obvious: my success with women really only came once I left home. If you're still a first-generation immigrant and are only dating women in that group, then of course, the values are different. But, as a CBC who usually dates other CBC women or white women, North American values apply. This means showing the ability to be independent.
