Prayers needed, please

FI is really struggling with frustration right now. The house he currently lives in is awful. In addition to being old and rundown, it's not well insulated, not energy efficient AT ALL, and the heating source (a pellet stove) makes both of us sick. He's regretting renting it just because it was cheap rent. Now the stove stopped working and if it doesn't get fixed soon, his pipes will freeze. He's considering breaking his lease and finding another place closer to his work, because his landlord is not being helpful with the heating situation. (And a large part of me REALLY hopes he does, because I'm not thrilled with the idea of living there after we're married until the lease ends.) In the meantime, he's letting these frustrations get him down and feeling like a failure at "life in general". So prayers are appreciated.

Also, I'm having a harder and harder time doing the LDR thing. I don't like knowing that FI is having a hard time and being so far away from him. So if you could pray for me too, that would be great. :)

    Wow, sounds like your FI has honest grounds upon which he should be able to break his lease without penalty.  What a bummer about the condition of the rental property.  I'll pray for you.

    Update: FI is sending a letter to his landlord quoting the Landlord/Tenant Act and saying she has 5 days to fix the heat or his lease is up. I'm SO proud of him. :) Please keep praying that God works all of this out the best way for both of us.

    I was in the EXACT same situation this time last year. I was in a very old apartment building and my heat went out during December! (That was just one of many problems.) The landlord took almost two weeks to fix the heating system, and I ended up breaking my lease on those grounds.

    I hope that things work out! I'll be praying for you!
