PF Chang Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've been drinking and getting angry with my friends. You decide: Option A: Two four-bedroom apartments, $400/each. 2 bathrooms, two per room. Option B: One house. $200 each. 2.5 bath. Six rooms, two live-in girlfriends so effectively everyone gets his/her own room. I like B. Am I walking into a trap? The wiser on the board have been here before. What to do?

Enter Apotheosis Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Depends on the people. Getting your own room is generally the safer bet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsknbill Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 B sounds like the best. Just be sure of the people that you are bringing in, financially and character wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Chang Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Depends on the people. Getting your own room is generally the safer bet, though. In both situations, everyone has their own room. We are all good friends. I am one of the two with the girlfriends, and I'm OK with sharing my room with her. In the last 20 minutes, I have honesty heard the argument concerning fewer bathrooms as a justification against option B. $200/month, or an extra person or two in the bathroom. But that argument came from an Eagles fan...what can you expect? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Oh, and houses are always better. But apartments are better for meeting women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reic Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I am 20 and have a live in girlfriend and am in college, I live in a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house and enjoy it. Only thing about living with a girlfriend is if she goes on the lease, and ya'll split, you are screwed, having a live in girlfriend is a pretty big commitment. My relationship is moving to the next level soon, so that is why I am in the situation I am in, so you have to tread carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Chang Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Eh, I'd advise against living with your girl if you're 19 and still in college. I basically live with her now...it's been good, we have a good relationship. I certainly understand your POV. I'm wary of the potential disaster but at least it's a sort of test run. I'm confused.Option A has 8 bedrooms, and 16 people Option B has 6 bedrooms yet everyone gets their own room Ah. When I said "two per room" I was referring to the bathroom situation. Sorry. I am 20 and have a live in girlfriend and am in college, I live in a 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house and enjoy it.Only thing about living with a girlfriend is if she goes on the lease, and ya'll split, you are screwed, having a live in girlfriend is a pretty big commitment. My relationship is moving to the next level soon, so that is why I am in the situation I am in, so you have to tread carefully Yeah, that's where I'll be. Would definitely be trouble if we split, but I don't want to avoid a likely good situation because it could potentially be bad. High risk, high reward. I like to cook and she likes to clean.

PF Chang Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 VERY WISE ADVICE. VERY WISE. Sorry, missed this post. Honestly, I'm not worried about fights and such. I think my top concern is that I don't want to feel like I'm already married. Kinda want that to be a new/exciting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I lived with my girlfriend in college. We started having problems soon after we signed the lease one year. I had nowhere else to go, no money to get a different place, so I cintinued to live there as it got worse and worse and worse. The last few months we were totally broken up. Crying, fighting and recriminations back and forth every goddam night. Longest year of my LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend is a teacher, so she goes to work every day, and I go to school, we only see one another after 4pm and on weekends, it makes it easier, it was weird at first, but we have been living together for a year, so it doesn't feel weird anymore.

SkinsFanAnt Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 DOOOD...NOOOO!! Live in girlfriends? 2 of them? Are you kidding me?!

I'm wary of the potential disaster but at least it's a sort of test run. This is why males at the age of 16-23 are the stupidest beings in the universe...yeah, I was one of them. Don't take offense though, its just true and you'll say the same thing when you're my age. But here's some advice. There is no 'test' run when you move in with a girl. If you aren't married, it will not be the same because there is not the same level of commitment....we're talking light years away. Engaged is one thing. But girlfriend?! You might as well break up now because the chances you will get sick of each other or she is going to mistrust you because you don't have the commitment to endure it. It's very rare when things like that work out for the better. :2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents::2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
