I asked because I did not think it was due to religious observance, I wanted to verify.

I think you might be content with living with your parents and staying rather juvenile. This might really be the real bottom line.

You are probably very scared of adult living, even terrified of having sex.

You have set up all these strict criteria and rules for yourself, but I'm not really believing it.

I am not criticizing, I am just showing you, the thing just might be that you feel safe as you are, where you are, and are clinging to that.

If you want that, there's nothing wrong with it.

I know a 42 year-old woman who never married and lives with her parents. She does work full time and tries to date, is not a virgin. But she also says she has these unrealistic criteria that I don't believe, either.
