triple bonus hax chat q: she's thinking about buying a house with her (no-credit score) live-in boyfriend. should he pay half or what? - poxie Oct 14, 12:02 41
- She's 1) making a major decision without him 2) doing it due to her feelings, not theirs 3) resenting him for not reading her mind. - David Oct 14, 12:12 1
  - have you ever met poor people? - TFox Oct 14, 12:13

    - what do you have against cheerleaders? -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 12:11
  - yup. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 12:09
- probably she'll end up paying more if she gets the house with him (higher interest with mediocre credit, right?) i'd base my decision on that, mostly - kare Oct 14, 12:08 1
  - exactly this. If she can get a loan at all, these days. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 12:09
- dump his loser ass, buy a co-op in the city and f*ck the doorman. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 12:06 1
  - oh hell, the loser bf is probably doing that already -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 14, 12:19
- " trying not to feel resentful" - too late. - Epiphany Oct 14, 12:06
- if you love him, it shouldn't matter if he can pay half. there's never perfect parity in money in relationships.. - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:05 20
  - non-perfect parity is one thing, but the guy has no savings and no credit score. those are big red flags to me for most grown-ups. - b. Oct 14, 12:13 3
    - maybe he works for a nonprofit and gets paid peanuts to save the world. I don't know. - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:16 2
      - so much depends on the individual situation, it is hard to say for sure without info. I just know that, for me, - b. Oct 14, 12:24 1

  - *ding* -- nm - Epiphany Oct 14, 12:07
  - it sounds like she already resents his lack of werewithal though -- nm - poxie Oct 14, 12:06 9
    - yeah I mean, it's clear she doesn't want to do this with him. "if you love him..." -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:07 8
      - if you love him and his credit sucks, you still shouldn't get a mortgage with him. -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 12:12 7
        
        I don't think she'd feel resentful if she loved him. -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:13 6
        
        she's resentful because she's comparing herself to other people, and she needs to get over it. It's not the boyfriend's faul.t -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 12:14 5
        
        right. her resentment is more about how her life has panned out, compared to her friends. ugh, i can't stand people like that -- nm - kare Oct 14, 12:15 3
        
        and the kind of dude she got, compared to her friends. (nmb non sequitur) - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:20 2

        at the mall, we have auntie ann's and some.... other thing. the other thing charges $3 for a totally sub-par twist, but - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 14, 12:24
        
        and now that I think of it, her letter fairly reeks of "why isn't he taking care of me?" -- nm - slutty werewolf demon cheerleader loosilu Oct 14, 12:15

  - Which one? -- nm - David Oct 14, 12:05 1
    - Tony Romo's -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 12:16
