I think if people aren't ready to fully support themselves they shouldn't bring their date to live with them and their parents. They could date and have boyfriend over for dinner but not play house.
Overall couples living with their parents smells trouble. It rarely ends well. By living with your parents you telling them you are still a child yet you want to be treated as an adult. It rarely works out.
The other concern I have is 8 year-engagement. Are you not ready for marriage? 8 years is long time.
I am sorry you have difficult parents, I can relate. But by continue living with them and bringing your partners thee doesn't help the situation

I might have confused readers with my long winded post,...
I have been with my fiance for 8 years.
We were together for 2 before we became engaged, were engaged for 2 years (while saving money on a wedding/going to school) and after we broke up (due to my parents), we were together for an additional 4yrs.
We only lived with my parents on 2 occasions:
When we were still young in our relationship because I hadn't moved out yet (I was only 18) and he came under hard times with his family.
We moved out soon after.
We came back only after my sister passed away because we thought if we were all together, it would help mend the family and clear the "bad juju" in the room since she passed away in bed.
