Pregnant..not living together

2 replies

Situation89 · 28/11/2021 17:31

Just wanted to get some advice..and see if anyone has been in this situation. I've been with my partner for 18 months. We don't live together as I have two primary aged children both under 9. He gets along with them great and sleeps here a few times a week and it's been working great. He's just bought a small 2 bedroom house to do up. This was fine because we were happy with our arrangement and not in a rush to live together full time. My contraception has failed and now I'm 10 weeks pregnant and no idea how we are going to sort out living arrangements. I'm currently renting a 2 bedroom house and obviously will need a 3rd bedroom. He's offered for me and my children to move in for a while but it will be so crowded. We are thinking about living apart for a while but I'm not sure if this is do able with a new born baby? It feels like such a mess but I know there must be others that have been in this situation before.

What are your thoughts on getting married and buying a joint house together?

You won't need a 3rd bedroom for a while (at least a year, longer if you keep baby in with you past 6 months).

Is there any option to create a 3rd bedroom as part of the house renovation; loft conversion, change a downstairs room to a bedroom (ie if there's a separate living room and dining space, could one become a bedroom) or divide the largest bedroom in two with a stud wall?

Or to buy a property together?
