To think it's too soon

So my friend has brought a house with her boyfriend who she has only been together with for 6 months. She keeps calling him the love of her life but she did this with her ex-boyfriend who she was together with for over 5 years. She's only 24 years old and I'm worried that she's still in the honeymoon era and this guy might not stick around and she'll be left with a mortgage that she can't afford on her own.

I know it's not my place but aibu for thinking that she's made a naive decision and commitment in buying a house?

Well.anecdotally I married dh after being together just six months , and we are still together 15 years later ,but if she has a track record of doing this than you may have cause for concern?

You may well think it Op but your friend is young enough to make her mistakes in life and recover. It may work, it may not, but unless it's an abusive relationship it's her decision. I wouldn't worry too much about it and there are several solutions to paying a mortgage if one person leaves.

Is you’re friend, my friend?

I’ve been with DP 6 years and we have a mortgage together now. My friend is a couple years younger than I am she’s 22 and came out of a relationship straight into a new one, they’ve been together 6 months and they’ve opened a joint bank account and an ISA together to start saving for a house..

She also never wanted children until I became pregnant as now she’s thinking about it. I’m scared for her if she does as she really doesn’t know the bloke... she only see’s him on weekend as he lives an hour and abit away!

She was meant to be saving for a house with her previous relationship but that obviously ended. They were together for 3ish years.

I think it will really hit them I’d they do love together how much you don’t know about someone as much as they think they do.

But realistically Op there's not much you can do.apart from being there for your friend , of course you can voice your concerns ,plenty of people did when dh and I announced we were getting married but there are no guarantees in any relationship.it may all go disastrously wrong (as could any relationship ) or it may not
