Well, the only thing that would be absolutely permanent is you owning your own place, but I do understand that, especially as a college student, you aren't ready for that. Would there be a lease agreement to sign, and stuff? It does have the nice yard for Crayola and even the Ark to venture out to and everything ...

Gosh Gina, I really don't know what to tell you! I guess you just have to weigh the pros and cons and see whether the chance of having to still deal with his daughter is worth the other benefits of living there? Good luck!

Permament sounds great...and it WAS a nice home for you.

BTW - is Ron out of hospital? Glad he is still around and hopefully feeling better.

I don't understand how it could be permanent unless he's offering you the deed or asking you to marry him. Whatever way it could be, make sure you get everything in writing first!

Gina, your life is never without drama is it? You poor girl.

I'm afraid I'm not abreast of what led to him throwing you out, but I say get some things in writing and have both of you sign it if you want to go back. Maybe have a legal professor read it over to make sure there are no loopholes. The more eyes look at it the better.

Either way, good luck.

y i k e s.. I realize "permanent" means different in hearing culture. nooo, not getting married!

what it meant in our culture (how I say it in sign language) was permanent home until I leave the state.. that home would have settled us down for a long time as we need it, no lease. flexiblity, spacious and not too far from school.

I thought of a few deals, e.g. a couple of free rents, an addendum, a contract of lease, etc., and this thread will be closed once the decision is made.

I'll share an update, and thank you all.

How about that he's not going to evict you for no reason again?

[sandragonfly]

yes, definitely, that's the part of lease contract I was thinking about.

catty, last I heard (know) from him, he was still having a pain in a leg. I suppose he's home now because he called me yesternight, asking us to move in.

I would never go back into that situation again.But that's just me. Once
I lose trust in someone's promises, it's a done deal.
