    I have a lot of cohabiting frens who bought property with their significant others, and it’s turned out OK...so far.

    @creepycoug and others have argued that marriage is only good if you have children.

    In any case, I feel bad for the girl. Glad she got a cut of the sale.

    Why would you ever buy a house with someone without writing up a contract before hand (with the % each person put in etc)

    It worked out fine for me. Purely by accident, I'm sure, but that probably has something to do with my wife being a super cool lady. In fact, the only issue I have with her in that regard is that she found this dilapidated shithole in the first place...

    Good fences make for good neighbors

    Clear agreement makes for good partners

    Sounds like whiteness. Therefore bad

    Picket fences are especially offensive and should be torn down.

    Because they’re in love and don’t need a piece of paper! They trust each other!!!!!!1


    Hell, when I got my first apartment in college my roommates and I drew up an agreement and signed it, outlining what would happen if someone needed to leave before the end of the lease, bills, etc. Two of them balked at the idea saying “we’re friends and adults”. Later they admitted it was a good exercise and gave them peace of mind.
    The truth is, as I've said before, you're a better woman than most. That's why you have the goods to hang out here.

    Lawyers.

    That is all.

    Yes.

    Again, lawyers.

    You were smart enough to get into Pomona. So, you wouldn't.

    As I'm sure you've deduced in the years since you left the fair lands of Claremont California, there are more stupid people than smart people. By a lot.

    I still stand by that, btw. But that doesn't mean you can't be in a committed relationship and draw up some contracts and shit.
