Prices are ridiculous out here and it's ludicrous that she could qualify for the loan by herself, yet what was her plan? Leave me on the mortgage for 2 years, try to finish her PhD in that time (though in her proposals, she's saying 3 years), and then go back to full-time work which she thought would qualify her for a loan. HA! I told her 2 years was too long and she wouldn't qualify by herself - she should have her father co-sign. She looked like she was going to cry.
As someone pointed out to me once, people in active affairs tend to temporarily lose about 20-30 IQ points. Seriously. My wife's OM was CONVINCED that I was learning her whereabouts thru her "BMW Assist" feature in her car. Nevermind that a cursory 30-second visit to their website will tell you that BMW will only divulge the location of a subscriber's vehicle if accompanied by a bona fide police report. Still, they were CONVINCED!!!
This went on for nearly two months before they ever even decided to search the trunk of her car for the GPS-enabled cellphone that I had stashed in there.
