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

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.

Your future in-laws are trying to save you both from FORNICATING. You should be thankful that they are looking out for the two of you. *twitch* *twitch* AAAAAAAAAAGGGH I CAN'T HELP MYSELF!!!! YDI for spending money on anything, ever! YDI for wanting a place to live! YDI for renting instead of owning! YDI for getting an apartment instead of a cardboard box or a van down by the river! YDI for being a wuss and letting them push you around!

I almost thought you were going to post without all of the "YDI" comments. You almost made it, though. I guess that's just how YOU GIRAFFES are.

There you go again with that "you giraffes" bit. I don't think you realize how offensive speciesism really is. YOU HUMANS HAVE OPPRESSED US LONG ENOUGH!!!

Did you have the permission to have sex? Or you haven’t yet and waiting to get married before.

OP, you need to handle this carefully, you will be dealing with the in-laws for a long while after this. So you can't just tell them to sod out of your business. You can politely explain to them that as you are both adults you are capable of making your own decisions and that you both chose to live there. However, you should have known how your in-laws would react to the two of you living together, and have thought about that before you signed a lease together. Or at least, your fiancé should have done.

Agreed. Another thing to consider is who's paying for the wedding. If the parents with the objections are, OP and the SO should either respect their wishes or pay for the wedding themselves, IMO.

Welcome to the 21st Century. It is very common for couples to live together (engaged or not). They should figure that out and get over it, or they should be paying the rent if they have major issues with your presence there. Best of luck to you with that situation. I'm about to go through that with my fiancé and our families. Ought to be interesting.

If your name is on the lease you have every legal right to live there. Are her parents going to pay your half? I seriously doubt it. I would move in anyway. If your fiancé is old enough to sign a lease, than she's old enough to stand up to her parents.

Exactly. Your in-laws have no legal weight to tell you not to live there when your name is on the lease. Grow a pair.

No, but they do have the ability make life hell for the OP. So if he does decide to ignore them, he has to do it tactfully.

Um why aren't you allowed to live in it? I mean, I can see why your fiance wouldn't be allowed to live there with you, but if you are paying for it anyway, you might as well live there?

Give them a "fake" marriage certificate and claim to have gotten married already by the court house. Just watch out for them to bitch about not being married in a church. JK

Live in it anyway. If your fiance won't suck it up and tell mom & dad to butt out, he can live at home while you have the apartment to yourself.
