I’d have told you to buy a house, but I’m not selling mine to pay you rent in yours. That’s suicide. And knowing somebody from prom night, from social media, or even dating years ago isn’t the same as knowing them in a marriage. Living together, merging finances, dealing with stress, that’s when you find out who a person really is. Nostalgia can make you feel like you already know, but marriage (or even a marriage-level commitment) is where you actually learn. Just saying, there’s a difference. And a side note, if y’all split, or dude misses a few rent payments, dude’s really gonna be living in a camper in his name. Dude might as well put his name on it. “TKE Dude” on the side in big ass letters LOL!

I should stay out of this conversation, but the ditched and relegated to the camper scenario cracks me up.
