wow, I never made a blatant declaration like that before. I was always willing to listen to the other person and seek a compromise.
Okay, not predictable in a small way: will not repeat any recipes. Will try to be away from my computer when she comes home (away from the usual place she finds me). Will think more on this - perhaps a coin toss to decide things sometimes?
How does it work it she wants to sell her half of the house? Don't I have to buy her out? It sounds like she is still on the finish renovations, sell, and move out path.
The house is historical, old, energy inefficient, and she thinks it will lose value in the coming years due to rising energy prices. On the other hand the location is excellent (on the lake shore, but in town; it is difficult to get building permission for houses on the water, so this makes it special). Maybe I could offer to compensate any loss she might take if I stay, and so her money can stay in the house?
Can't she basically force me to move by her moving out? I can't afford to pay her half the house value.
I suppose I declare that I am not moving out, just like the bed thing? do I need to declare this soon, so my plan is clear?
My plan: do not move, figure out a way she can move (if needed), work on me.
By the way, she moved out for maybe 8 months a long time ago, in ~1993, to a small room of her own, but I was invited over a lot. The woman likes her space and freedom.
Thanks -
