Ladies, enjoy this happy story with me. A man bought a house solo, relying on his live-in girlfriend to pay him rent to subsidize his mortgage. Just one year after buying the house, they broke up, and he cannot independently afford his home. He will either need to sell at a loss or get a roommate.
Never depend on someone you're dating to subsidize your housing purchases! And the reverse, never pay rent to a boyfriend in order for him to buy a house without you!
Hot take: home ownership is for people who are either single, married, or ladies pooling funds to create a radfem utopian commune. It is not for boyfriends/girlfriends to play house.

(Peruse his post history for more details.)
My bff is in this situation. But she can't see how he's using her. She pays half his mortgage while not being on the deed or even has a lease. She's been doing this for 6 years:/ She's the definition of mommymcbangmaid. She's is the live in housekeeper, sex slave, he makes her pay 50/50 on everything. A couple months ago, I started sending her FDS videos to hopefully wake her up, and it's been working. She's been trying to broach marriage with him, and he says he main concern is losing half of his retirement 401K if they divorced :( sigh.... Idk why she can't see that he's using her. She keeps making excuses, and saying how he's got so many other amazing qualities. I hope she walks away soon.
Notice how one of his brilliant ideas is renting a room of his house to a traveling nurse. (Well over 80% of traveling nurses are women btw.)
Room for Rent, shared bathroom. Only nurses need apply.
What person in their right mind would go for something like that!?! Not to mention, traveling nurses make 6 figures.
Serves him right! He basically made his girlfriend share the mortgage for a house she didn’t even own. At least he’s built up some equity, while she was wasting her time paying rent without a lease. The audacity that he expects anyone to feel sorry for him.
Aww, you dun effed up, didn't ya, dude?
My cousin's wife is a realtor. She has seen more boyfriends and girlfriends with stars in their eyes and "Whaaatt? We won't break up? We're building a future!" when they walk into her office. Not even a year or so later, that house that the couple bought is back on the market or being sold in a short sale. Without getting too technical, a short sale means that the homeowner has to sell the property for much less than what it is mortgaged for and before the property is seized by foreclosure.
Second, my grandmother has a condo that she rents. She decided a long time ago that the whole "boyfriend/girlfriend/unmarried couple trope" was the people who she would not rent to because they were risky potential tenants. There were too many past instances of her being dragged into the drama of one person moving out, one person refusing to leave, haranguing her to let them break her lease for a discount (HAHA), and the constant argument of who was responsible for paying out on broken or existing lease.
I can't understand for the life of me why women continue to do this to themselves. It is not a joke when it is said that low value men ruin women's lives, chiefly financially. The common denominator is that moving in with a guy means that in a breakup you take a financial hit that could take years to recover from. I work too hard already and I'm just going to dump my finances into a rented space or his house that I'm not even on the deed to? Nope.
Lmfao. I love how you decoded the male bs and just said it straight that this guy was using her for his mortgage. The original post is hilarious--straight men who use the word partner usually just means forever gf
