I dated a guy who was homeschooled from middle school on to graduation. We were22/23 years old when we dated. His mom had a degree and worked part time at the Library.
We live in New England and when I mentioned an event in Rhode Island I wanted to go to, he couldn’t comprehend how we could drive there, he thought we’d need to take a boat. The guy was sheltered, to a degree I believe was harmful for his growth. He had tons of missing practical knowledge. I don’t know if his mom just didn’t do a thorough job, or what, but her son was serverly lacking a lot of common knowledge and life skills.
