Future JNMIL wants me to pay her rent money on top of the rent my SO pays her but I'm not allowed to use their address as my own.

Hi!

Your reasons for wanting to buy are absolutely correct. However, I’m also a lawyer and just want you to also consider the legal consequences of buying a house with your SO when he’s having FOG issues. Be absolutely sure waiting is worth it.

Getting out of their house probably won’t solve his issues with his parents, if he has them, and if you’re worried about him having to pick between you and his parents now, as you say, make sure you’re absolutely ready for the legal commitment of co-ownership and continued toxicity while you wait.

It seems like you both are giving away enough money to your parents right now to justify the cost of a rental. Just food for thought!

I wish you luck, and I’m sorry your future JNMIL treats you and your SO like that!
