Yesterday, after crying everything out to my riding instructor/therapist, and drying my tears on the mane of a patient equine friend, I went home and told FI the score. I have lived with them for nearly a year, and I'm certainly not going to do it for the length of another lease. FBIL needs to get off his butt and get a job, and he and Mom need to find something they can afford.
He actually agreed with me. He didn't try to present their side of things, he simply told me that I was right, and he didn't want to live with them either.
By the first of the year, we will have a place of our own.
December 18, 2010!!! Never thought I would be a winter bride; just hoping we don't get snowed in until AFTER the wedding!
