“And since I wouldn’t also have to be paying interest, we would put a bigger dent in the mortgage and still stick to the timeline,” he reasoned.
His fiancée did not seem very happy with his idea, though, and claimed that she would also have to take some time to think about it first.
Now, she has not told him her final decision on his proposition yet. But while drinking a beer with some friends recently, he decided to casually mention the situation to get an outside perspective.
And to his surprise, his friends actually called him a downright jerk. They claimed that they would do absolutely anything to get a two-year offer like that from their partner in order to become debt-free.
On top of that, his friends pointed out how even if he did pay her back, he would still be taking away twenty percent of her savings for a year and a half.
So now, he has been pretty confused about what to do. Moreover, he has been left wondering whether asking his fiancée to just pay back the debt now instead of “living through her weird debt payback plan” makes him a total jerk.
Whose plan do you think is more reasonable? Since it is his debt, should it be his paychecks that pay it off? Would that help prevent the possible margin of error that could happen if he plans to pay his fiancée back in a year and a half, or does it make no difference? Do you think he was a jerk for bringing that counteroffer to his fiancée?
