Today, I met with my realtor to close on a house for my boyfriend and me. While waiting for my boyfriend, I got a text message from him saying he was breaking up with me. I had already signed the papers on our house. Now I'm responsible for a mortgage that I can only afford with his help. FML

Never take a mortgage you can't afford on your own. That's just asking for problems. What if you guys did stay together and one of you lost their job?

Oh my God! That's so ******* tactless of him! FYL. That guy's a douche, you're better off without him. Maybe you can find a nice roommate?

This is why unmarried couples trying to test the waters before they are wed is one of the stupidest things our culture believes is wise.

Never buy a house with your boyfriend, they won't legally owe you anything YDI

People are all "You deserve it for not being married" but I say FYL because he's a complete prick for doing that to you. good luck finding a better job? sorry! x

YDI for not putting his name on the mortgage

ok ignoring marriage as the solution, how about the commitment levels? willing to spend x 100's of thousands on a house but not commit to life with you? YDI for not catching that one.

Look into the laws regarding de facto relationships where you are. Here in NZ it's 3 years (and i'm assuming if you're buying a house together you've been with each other for at least as long as that!), in which case you would be able to legally get something out of him.

hope u have two bedrooms. then u can have a lodger.

If you guys were serious enough about each other to actually buy a house together, then he was a HUGE wanker for just breaking up with you like that.... over a text!!

you should be able to sue for breach of contract. if not get a roommate to help pay the mortgage
