Streetspirit Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Okay, pretty stupid question, but I'm not feeling as logical as I should today. Since the break, I've been staying by myself here for about two months now. My financial situation has been very rough. I'm falling in a hole that I know won't be easy to pull myself out of. This month is important because I know I'll have expenses that I usually don't have to pay. I've tried getting a cheaper car, but I can't do that easily without taking a huge loss on my new one. I've been trying to find a new roomate, and I think Ive found one but I'm scared that he's going to flake out. He's supposed to sign a lease this week and make a deposit, but i dunno what to do if he doesn't. I briefly spoke to the ex last night.. and she was begging me to let her stay here in the room downstairs. Now, as ****ty as it would be to have her here ,I don't know if I would have much of a choice. i dont care about her like that anymore.. I just have a feeling she'd probably try to mess up my new relationship somehow. I dont want the new girlfriend to be threatened by her being here.. I guess I'll ask her how she would feel about it.. and check up on the potential roomate before I consider doing something like letting an ex back into the house.. ugh i get chills thinking about doing it but seriously guys I don't have much other choice. The house I'm staying in is owned by the ex's parents so I feel like I'm skating on thin ice as it is, even though I'm buying the house within the next 6 months.
Author Streetspirit Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Oh, I guess I forgot the point of this posting. The question is.... Is letting her back in COMPLETELY out of the question?
notmakingsense Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah -- not a great idea -- even if you are over her. Definitely a bad idea if you aren't over her. Just tell her that you can't because you are getting a roomate and are in a new relationship with someone who would think it is funny. You can't do anything about the exe's parents. If they kick you out, they lose a potential buyer of their place -- not smart. Use the opportunity to find a cheaper place if that happens.
Art_Critic Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 How will you be buying the house from her parents if you have no money ? Are they cutting you some sort of deal ?.. rent to own or owner financing ? Maybe because you were dating their daughter ?

Haha, yeah, I probably would have had a better deal had things worked out with their daughter, but yeah, I still have an amazing deal on this place if I buy it. Its too good of an opportunity if I get it. I've found a state program that assists with a down payment . With a roomate, I can definately afford this place. they would give me a few months to get back on track financially before buying the place.. I just have to find a roomate. I dunno what to do.. If I could survive without someone else here.. I'd definately say no to the ex.. and she doesnt know I would actually consider it...but arghhhh It's such a bad situation. and yes, the new gf would probably have major issues with it.. but at the same time, she knows the position i'm in.. sigh... i just need to win the lottery or something
