GF won’t move in for these reasons..
My (27M) GF (26F) is renting in a shared house with her roommate (26F) her roommate is essentially leaving her high and dry and telling her she’s leaving in about 50 days. The house is very nice, and right across the street from the train she takes to work. It consist of Two bed, 1 Bath, 1 Living room, Kitchen, and Washer/Dryer. Pay is about 2.8 K a month. 1.4 split.
She wants me to move in with her and pay slightly less than her due to the inconvenience. My counter offer was for her to move into my apartment, and not pay ANY rent, to live with me for FREE and just buy groceries. My spot consist of 1 Bed, 1 Bath, 1 Kitchen, 1 Living Room, and a complete Home Gym. I pay 1K flat, and the money goes to my parents, because the house is theirs,they just moved out to a different state, and rely on the money to a degree.
She is firm on not moving into my spot, it’s a 22 minute walk to the train and because she doesn’t like it and feels as if it’s beneath her. (High paying job, can afford where she’s at by herself honestly) my kitchen currently needs a new oven and cabinets, and I need a new washer/dryer.
I told her if she moves in with me I’ll get that and literally anything she wants installed with my OWN money (I make 3x Less then her) to make herself comfortable, (we have family contractors). Still not enough for her!
She believes I’ve never made any compromise in our 3 year relationship. She is from another state and decided to stay here for me. Her first apartment was about 20 miles from me, and I’d drive to her because she can’t drive. She moved closer to me two years ago without me asking her, and sometimes uses that to argue that she’s sacrificed, Because this location is further from her job. I’ve never asked her to do any of these things for me. And in reality she didn’t do it for me, she did it to be AROUND me. She believes me not willing to compromise my family, pay almost double my current rent, and move into her house is a red flag, even if I spend thousands to make it comfortable and offer her FREE rent.
She says if she was to move in with me she’d end up building resentment towards me. Reddit, what is your opinion on this scenario?
