Would you rather live in a small apartment by yourselves or a big house with one other person, paying less than you would for the apartment??
I think its not bad to compromise with him. You obviously want to as well but you'll have to plan, budget and save. Reevaluate the situation in a month or so and do what feels right.
@kambam, that’s what I’m saying, but he wants to be on our own which I understand but neither of us have credit or much rental history at all either which makes it difficult to qualify for our own place
@kambam, well I live with that roommate now, and we get along fine. I come and go as I please. We both share chores and help each other out. And we wouldn’t be necessarily struggling, it would just be expensive for me and my boyfriend. we have two car payments, rent, our phones, having to buy food. And I only work part time. Plus we may need child care soon.
Depends..living alone is less complicated and more freedom, but maybe a roommate is cheaper if you'll be struggling on your own.
My husband and I have been living alone since we met. And yeah we might not live in a fancy place, or even have lot of room but we honestly would prefer to live on our own than with anyone else. We had thought about moving in with my sister but honestly it’ll feel like too much. Specially now that we have a baby. We might be tight but it’s only our own that we worry about 🤷🏻♀️
