Okay so it has been a few days. I did talk to W about the townhouse that my D mentioned. W stated that she was in fact still casually looking but nothing serious. She did mention it to our D because they drove by it one day when heading over to the shopping center and she told D that it was for sale and seemed nice. However W told me that she would not seriously consider entering into a contract to purchase a home without telling me first and having me look at it with her. She still plans to move back in next month if that is okay with me.
Really until she gets a firm job offer I don't see her buying anyplace before the end of the year. I'm pretty much okay with that for now, but we both know that we can't live in limbo forever. She also seems to resent, to a certain extent, the fact that I have bought a home and made a pretty good deal on it considering the market in this area. That's on her though. I told her more than a year ago that once the lease was up on the house I was renting that I was going to buy a house either with her or without her.
So as usual it's pretty much the status quo. She will move in next month as a "roommate" which will at least help out financially. If it results in a tense living situation then I'll simply let her know that it's not working and she needs to find a place of her own and move out. On the other hand, there is always the slight possibility that living together could lead to a full R of the M - but I'm certainly not counting on that.
