omg you just got all toppy.
that was hot. :fireman:

Do not cosign for $10,000 in furniture when you're not married.

:|

:readfineprint:

Be very careful...
 

Oh now you did it, I must derail this thread with a YouTube

:|

Who the hell has furniture that costs that much?

:|

Music..

Music you can't be liking the above


That would be a deal breaker for *me*

or I would have to find the ice pick..

Someone that sets up housekeeping in more than one house :|

Who the hell wants furniture that costs that much?! I guess I don't get it.

Snooki!!!

:phonegab:

LOL, be careful what you say, Pinkie may come in here and post Celine


Ice pick :|

Um I do that and it is STILL not that much even combined

:|

You know those places where you get it all and pay monthly? Like a rent to own sorta deal?

Well she was in the military and just got housing (was married to a gay friend) and the only furniture we had was my bed and dresser.. A dining room, living room, bedroom set x 2 later.. Well. YEAH.

Then she was kicked out for being gay and upon calling the people and letting them know the money would no longer be coming from her account but from mine due to her discharge, they told us they would be arriving the next day to TAKE IT ALL BACK. We had already paid $3k of it off. No refund.

And after we split months later she informed me she got a letter from them, and they were asking for the remaining balance.. AND they had already re-sold it!

I never got anything, I don't know what happened about that.

Dreading that call one day :|

So yeah.

Signed,
A hella lot smarter girl this time around - boi and I agreed we would not buy anything we couldn't pay for all in cash at time of purchase



Edited to add - I don't think we looked at the price tags. It was her idea to go get all the furniture. When she got kicked out - we had to go apartment hunting obviously - and I didn't let her do that again. We accumulated our furniture over a period of time - all free - dining room and living room and bedroom.

how about dont air your pvt stuff online.

dont make someone else more significant to you than your partner. When you rely on someone else to be your other half, to share your thoughts and hopes and fears with, you are literally stealing that away from the person you said you loved.

dont set unrealistic expectations

dont make small things huge things.

Dont make her/his huge things inconsequential.

Share more than a bed with her/him. A relationship isnt whats in bed. Thats only a small % of it. When the covers are back and your feet hit the floor, that day should include him or her

dont cheat. For god sake, please dont cheat. And there are many ways to cheat. I just had a discussion with someone about online cheating. Its not just about sex. Its also about having your needs fulfilled by someone else and fulfilling someone else's needs before your partner's, too

dont share a bank account when you inherit large sums of money

dont hand your paycheck over

dont shove the child out of the way no matter how old she is

dont resent the animals in her/his life. You wont win

dont expect more out of the other person than you are willing to her/him to expect out of you. No double standards. You want him or her to look her best, be thin, dress top notch, etc, then you best do it too

dont manipulate to move in or to have her/him to move in, too soon. Lets help eradicate the uhaul legend...

and I see this with alot of online relationships: dont use someone up and caste them aside when you are "fixed". So many people hook up when someone is going thru a tough time..dealing with a death, having financial problems, experiencing major health issues. They hook up and when their grief is over, they have money in their pocket again or their health is better,they dump the person who helped them and move on...AND dont be the person who is needy. Hold off. Do it yourself. You will thank yourself big time later...

there is more but thats off the top of my head

I agree about the fur kids and my own child...they are my family first and formost,as well as everything else softness said...couldnt have said it better.

Or the reverse; don't invest large sums of money into a large asset that doesn't have your name on it. Ditto on the last two lines.
