Manage episode 503213874 series 3537177
When love and real estate collide, things can get messy. A new listener writes in after moving into their partner’s home—a home that’s been theirs for nearly a decade, kids and all. The couple is serious, even planning to elope, but the money side of the relationship? Totally unplanned.
How do you contribute fairly when you don’t technically own the house? How do you protect yourself without seeming selfish? And what conversations should couples really have before moving in together?
Pete and Kristen unpack the unwritten rules of cohabitation, from cohab agreements to avoiding the “floating system” trap. Whether you’re dating, shacking up, or already living in a blended household, this episode explores the fine line between romance and responsibility—because building a future together requires more than just sharing groceries.
