Were trying to work on our relationship. Currently we live in a small one bedroom that is in my name and I mostly pay for now he wants to get a townhouse and split the costs and he wants to prove it by applying together and putting his name on the lease. Should I believe him and go through with this step or pull out and cut my losses? Reply to this Question Share |

If you move in with him now then if things don't work out you might end up being the one without a home to stay in at night and you'll still be bound to pay the rent to that house too.
I agree with Trisha-1

Honestly, I don't think signing a lease with him or applying together while you're still in the middle of working out your relationship would be a good idea.
Can you afford to live on your own for a bit? I think that you can work on your relationship without tying yourself to him in a financial arrangement that might hurt your future credit score.
It's nothing personal, really, just common sense. If you're in doubt of this, don't commit to it.
Hope things turn out well for both of you!
