Eventually moving in

5 replies

Blushingm · 07/05/2024 11:13

Myself & DP have been together 2 years. I own my house with a mortgage and he owns his. Mine is in a village and his in the city where we both work.

He has 2 DC who are with him almost 50% of the time. My DD is going to uni in September and my DS still lives at home but doesn't earn much he's 22.

We would like to eventually live together but not sure how to go about it. I could sell and move in with him - but it's only 3 bedrooms with his DC already having one each. My DD will come home from uni at least the first summer and my DS will need some where to live but friends and job are in the village but there's no way he can afford to get his own place.

Or we can both sell and buy together but I know his would sell quickly and I would be stuck with mine and there's no way he could move in with me as it's small and there would be no where for his kids to be nor could they get to school from there either as public transport is long and very unreliable.

Any suggestions on how we could do it?

Do you need to live together? It certainly wouldnt be best for his children. Is your dd 18?

Let each of your homes out and then rent somewhere together? Then you each have a fall back if it doesn't work out.

We would like to though not until his youngest is ready for uni. At the moment I stay at his whenever his DC aren't there and it's working really well.

That's a good option - thanks
