Imagine being thrilled to become a homeowner for the first time, only to discover that you might have to share your new house with your partner’s mother.

One man is at a standstill with his girlfriend and her family after finding out her mom wants to live with them after she’s fallen on hard times.

He’s 23 and is very pleased with himself after purchasing his first home over a month ago. He invited his 22-year-old girlfriend of six years to move in with him.

Since the home is solely his, he pays for the mortgage and utilities, but his girlfriend pitches in with groceries and their subscriptions, and she helped purchase some furniture.

Things were going great for them until about a week ago when they received some bad news about his girlfriend’s mom.

Her mom is not well off and doesn’t make much of a living. She’s had issues with drinking and had been staying in a trailer with her boyfriend until they broke up.

Then, his girlfriend’s mom went to go live with her mother and stepfather, but her mother recently passed away due to cancer.

Now, his girlfriend’s mom is being kicked out by her own family and needs a place to stay. Therefore, she’s calling upon her kids.

His girlfriend has a sister that lives with her boyfriend, but her mom has insisted on staying with the two of them at his house. His girlfriend’s mom has shown no interest in getting a well-paying job or her own place.

“I am firmly against this,” he explained.

“It’s my house, I’m very much enjoying living on my own, and honestly, I don’t want anyone else here. It’s not my fault that her mom hasn’t done anything to improve her financial situation.”

He’s been having trouble communicating with his girlfriend about the subject, as she’s been avoiding talking to him about it.

However, he can tell deep down that she doesn’t want her mom to stay with them but that she’s also a big pushover for her. It’s a very uncomfortable situation.

Recently, his girlfriend’s sister called him and told him off. She told him that he should let her mom stay with him because he has a bigger house. When he said it was not his mother and not his problem, she accused him of forcing her mom to become homeless.

“I’ve been feeling guilty, but I want to hold my ground,” he said. “I don’t want to enable her mom to sit around here all day drinking.”

Do you think he should hold his ground and not let his girlfriend’s mom live in his house?
