Love, Weird and Money: Bunch of cons

Bunch of cons

By sauce - 24/09/2010 06:33 - United States

Today, after months of looking, my fiancé and I finally signed a lease. We are using my savings to pay for it. This apparently poses a "moral dilemma" for my in-laws, who think we should wait to be married. I'm paying for an apartment I'm not allowed to live in. FML

Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML

Today, we received a wedding invitation from a couple who are renting an apartment from us. They haven't paid rent for several months. My father is listed as the "principal sponsor." FML

Today, after spending money on all the furniture and decor in our apartment, paying rent every month from my bank account, paying for all the groceries, and paying for all the dog supplies, my fiance asked why I don't keep saving thousands of dollars every month, while he pays for none of it. FML

Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

Today, I signed the lease for a flat that a mate and I decided to move into. About five minutes after leaving the renting agency, I received a text from my mate saying he couldn't move in with me after all. I am now the happy tenant of a large inner city flat that I can't afford. FML

Today, my landlord told me he is raising my rent next month. I thought he was kidding until he asked if I still wanted to live here. My landlord is also my live-in boyfriend. FML

Today, my very traditional parents told me that I should start a savings account for my marriage. I told them that I wouldn't get married until much later because I don't even have a boyfriend yet. They said, "Don't worry we already found a boy for you." FML

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 09/12/2020 11:09

Today, I was supposed to close on a house. Unfortunately, our lender decided that they couldn't finance us and denied us a loan, after 3 months of us digging up paperwork, saving money, and packing. Now we have to scramble to find a new place, while our insane landlady screams at us. FML

Op didn't say anything about religion. he said "moral dilemma". Unless you believe that religious people are the only ones with morals and therefore moral dilemmas. cover up, your prejudice is showing.

Well apparently most of you are not engaged or married. I think you should respect your in laws opinion and advice. They will soon be your family and you don't wanna burn any bridges this soon into your relationship. Be an adult and deal with the situation. It won't be too long before your married anyway. I agree though, live together only if your married. I did the same thing, paid the deposit and first rent. My husband lived there before we were married. No big deal. You share everything at that point, including your money. It's not a big deal. Just get married already and then move in!

Then where is she going to live? This makes no sense, yes they will be her family but they do not own her. If you are coming from the biblical point of view, a husband and wife leave their parents to make a new family. All that should matter to her future-husband (according to scripture) is making her happy and that means to stick by her over the opinions of his parents.

As it's the OP's 'in-laws' that are complaining, then it's the girl's parents that are. Which means she has their grounds to move back in with them until she and the OP are married. Though I suppose that all depends on how far away they live and how long it would be for...

You paid for it, so you should be in it. The future in-laws moral qualms might require them to keep your future spouse in their home until the wedding, an issue for them to resolve. Keeping you out is just plain wrong.
