Sorry, no, that’s not what it means. It’s a word that refers to someone who mooches off of their partner because they don't want to work. That guy was just an ass.
Never heard the term before. I assumed it was a typo
That makes sense, I could totally see that as a typo
Yeah but I always thought the hobosexual was the sucker. Like I'm a hobosexual because I prefer a domestic house husband but it's difficult to find a man who isn't just saying he's one as a ruse for wanting to do 0 work, domestic or otherwise.
I’ve always heard it used to describe the lazy person, but I guess there are multiple definitions. I used it referring to this definition: A hobosexual is someone who dates for housing, not love
I think people having a discussion and agreeing that one person stays home while the other works is completely fine. That’s not what my situation was, he worked, then he didn’t, then he refused to.
that's been my position several times as well unfortunately. like I said, lots of men say that's what they're gonna do, then they actually get there and realize domesticity is actually a legit job and they don't really wanna do that either.
