If you aren't married, his mom really doesn't owe you a place to stay.
Sounds like you both need to learn to live together renting. Bottom line is if you can't afford to rent & save to buy you will never afford a house anyway. House payments, property tax & repairs will be no different than now & it is possible you will never be able to afford it with the way the economy has been. If you truly want to be a "functional couple" you are better off being satisfied enjoying each other in a rental than in the situation you are in. At this rate, your relationship won't last long enough to buy a house together....also, buying a house together when you are not married is not wise. My daughter did that with her inheritance money from my mom & then he wanted out & she lost every cent of her money. Start making wise choices for yourself because you never know what the future holds

Hi! I remember you replying to another one of my posts about it my partner’s mother. She definitely doesn’t owe us a place to stay hence why we asked her if it was okay to stay with her for a year while we saved up. It might be different where you are living but it give you an idea, we were spending $1800 (AUD) a month on rent which was great and a reasonable amount for rent. Until the landlord decided to increase it by an extra $1000 a month. In Australia, this is basically a mortgage. I appreciate your advice but my partner and I have been together for almost 7 years.
We have agreed a year to save for a deposit and then get our own place. But my question wasn’t about that…. It was about this mother who’s become unjustifiably rude and passive aggressive towards me despite her previously happily agreeing for me to stay and even buying me slippers, a blanket, an apron etc and chatting with me every night. Now she’s become cold and distant and says she wants her space. How do I handle that?
