we're moving in together

but it's not what you think.

sg is moving in with me...

and my parents.

yeah, i know. crazy.

we ran the numbers and it just made the most sense. why drive an hour every week to see him? why pay upwards of $1200 for an apartment while he's out of work for god knows how long? we're hoping to not have to touch the severance bonus they gave him and pocket it for a rainy day (or maybe some shiny bling for our engagement). we will even be able to actually save some of the money he gets from unemployment and i won't have to work the weekends schlepping bloomin' onions.

but yeah, i know. crazy.

my parents were surprisingly sympathetic and open. and while i'm not so naive as to think this is just gonna be peachy, i think it's still for the best and i'm grateful my parents are so generous. if all 4 of us can get through this situation, then we really were meant to be family.

I think it's logical, and though may not be optimal, will definitely be a good test run on how you all will co-habitate, AND get along with the inlaws. Just make sure you get plenty of time to yourselves too, even if it's just going out for a picnic or something. :) Good luck!

Honestly, that sounds like a good solution. It'll be trying, I'm sure, but it'll probably work out in the long run. Good luck, and congrats!

Hey, you're Asian! It will be fine!!! We basically live stacked on top of one another after all! Hope you guys have fun this weekend in the hot tub, I'm jealous!

Actually, I bet your parents are over the moon. All Asian parents want their kids to live with them forever.
