I'm in quite a difficult position. My closest friends are graduating this year and so I can't live with them next academic year. The friends who are graduating with me have their living arrangements already sorted for next time or buying houses with their partners.
I've been doing some research on what I could afford alone. And it isn't nice. I can afford basically a two room flat that looks like it will combust any time soon. I really don't want to live in a horrible flat in a very unsafe area.
If I lived with my boyfriend and split the rent, we could afford some very nice places. I've tried hinting about it but he is confusing me. When I first talked to him about me finding a place of my own to live from the summer onwards, his immediate response was "my tenancy ended six months ago so I'm not tied to this place, I can move whenever". For some reason I didn't question it. Last night he asked me out of nowhere when my tenancy ended. But I know he is apprehensive about moving the relationship forward because of how the last one ended and how it made him feel. I know we will stay together and I think he knows that deep down too, but he gets very anxious and I think this would stop him from moving in with me so soon.
Has anyone got any advice on this? Like I said, I really don't want to live somewhere horrible and unsafe. Plus I think it would really benefit our relationship. The only arguments we have is about not seeing each other enough. He works six days a week, sometimes twelve hours a day. If we lived together then we would see each other a more normal amount like a normal couple.
Put the internet to work for you.
