She’s Planning On Buying A House For Herself And Her Boyfriend Isn’t Supportive Of This
One young woman is ready to make a big move and buy herself a house. However, her boyfriend is not supporting her at all.
She has been saving up for a house for a while now and is finally feeling prepared enough to buy one.
“I’m not rushing into it,” she explained. “I want to take my time and find something I really love. I’m seriously looking and touring a lot of places.”
She has been dating her boyfriend, Dan, for a year. From the beginning of their relationship, they decided that they would not want to rush into living together. In fact, they don’t see themselves living together for several years.
When they first started dating, she was living in a studio apartment, and Dan lived in an apartment with two roommates.
With this in mind, she began touring houses that only she would live in. She’s been looking at homes that are perfect for her, not her and Dan.
She plans on investing a lot of her own money into this home and sees herself living there alone for the “foreseeable future.”
The woman’s father, a former home inspector, has joined her on her search, so she has some family support.
However, Dan has been less than thrilled about her decision.

He’s been feeding her a lot of opinions, giving her the impression that he sees himself living with her in this house one day – something they were not planning for.
She looked for homes in her ideal neighborhood, and when some of them didn’t work out, Dan said he was glad because he “hated them.”
She has been looking at row houses, which have limited space. Dan hates this idea, saying that she’s essentially moving into a new apartment versus a house.
“I said that I wanted a house so I wouldn’t keep giving my paycheck to a landlord and so I could build some equity and savings in real estate,” she said.
“I could do that just as well in an apartment-like house because it was in a very desirable neighborhood that was increasing in value.”
Dan went on to say that she was “too immature” to make such a purchase.
She’s positive that she is mature enough. She is a 25-year-old woman who is capable of making her own decisions. She also reiterates that she has her father helping her, who is practically an expert at picking out homes.
She certainly does not need Dan’s negativity in this situation.
She eventually put her foot down and told Dan that she was buying a house whether he likes it or not and that she no longer wants his input throughout this process.
Dan became upset, telling her that they’re “supposed to be partners.” She began questioning if she was doing the right thing in telling Dan to lay off her or if she should’ve been more receptive to his opinions.
Do you think Dan is the one who took things too far?
