A Redditor is facing backlash for buying his dream home without consulting his girlfriend of four months. Explore the complexities of this situation as he grapples with the implications of his decision and the girlfriend's feelings of exclusion.
For one Redditor, buying his dream house seemed like a no-brainer – perfect location, great price, and an easy win for his family. But his girlfriend of 4 months was upset because he didn’t consult her before signing the papers. The man had been house hunting for a long time and, when the perfect home hit the market, he jumped on it without a second thought, but his girlfriend was not thrilled.
The man’s sister says his girlfriend, being 32 years old, is probably dreaming about a family and raising her kids in that home, and feels excluded for not being consulted. 'I feel that it is a little premature to consult my girlfriend of 4 months before buying a home': the man asks if he’s wrong for purchasing a house without talking to his girlfriend. He has two teenage boys, and he’s been casually dating his 32-year-old girlfriend for most of the year. Exclusivity only became a thing 4 months ago, so it’s still pretty early days. And while his girlfriend has been open about wanting kids someday, the OP made it clear that parenthood would be at least a couple of years down the road. So far, so good. Here’s where it gets tricky. The OP has been house hunting for a while because his current home just isn’t cutting it. His is a brutal 30-minute commute, and the boys’ school? A dreaded 45-minute ride away. So, when the unicorn of houses (perfect location, perfect price) appeared out of nowhere, he jumped on it, with a same-day offer, deal-sealed kind of jumping. I must say, I respect the hustle. But when he shared the good news with his girlfriend, she wasn’t exactly cracking open the bubbly. Instead, she hit him with a “Why didn’t you consult me before?”. The OP explained that he’d been house hunting long before they got together and, realistically, good houses vanish faster than free samples at a supermarket
