Oh, doing it wasn't even in question. They helped me out so much when I lost my job, and a lot before then, so a year is nothing and I'll give up personal freedom for a year and meeting anyone if that's what it takes. They won't be around at all when they go. I'll change the locks But no, they may visit from time to time but as they said, they're selling it, not letting me live here so it'll be mine as if I'd bought my own house.
As some of you oldies will remember, last year I lost my job, couldn't afford rent, and had to move back in with the parents to get by. Not the best or proudest moment of my life. Since, then I've gone and got myself a great new job with benefits and a raise from the old one, and permanency!
But..... here's the kicker. My parents have asked me not to move back out. Basically, they're retiring next year and want to sell the house, and sell it to me. This will mean in 7 months, I get to take over the old family home as my own and in the meantime, I'm taking over their payments, their bills and general upkeep of the place cause they're not up to it anymore. But that's not the question. I'm gonna do this no matter what cause they've always been there for me and if I can help them out now by taking on the heavy work and making sure tyey've a bit more cash for retirement, then I'm in 100%
The question is... Is there even a point in me trying to meet a girl till next year? There's been a couple I've approached and when they've learned that I'm 31 and living with my folks, they scarper, despite the circumstances. It's not like I'm too lazy to move out or have Mom doing it all. I do all my own cooking, cleaning, ironing and a lot of theirs too as well as the garden and general handyman work. But I suppose, if you break it down, I AM 31, and I AM living with them.
C'mon ladies, if a guy told you that story, would you run? tell him to come back next year? or not care? Guys too, feel free to weigh in.
I think you'll find yours could be a common one round here.
Know what you mean though. I stumbled on some pics of me and my ex in bed last night. (nothing like that!!), just one of those Sunday mornings where you're giggly and cozy. Urgh, don't like her but miss that feeling. Also wish the next 7 months would go fast so I can get everything in my life in order again finally. Ah well. I'll just have to have a good summer
Exactly right. -------> Although I find people can make up their own stories about you if they try hard enough.. I just go with it if it's a lie or deny the truth. Makes for fun times.
