well, I just got back from lunch with Mike. He told me to not worry about anything, that he was gonna talk to Rob and tell him that he has to find a roommate by the first of September (yaay) he also said he is getting paid for all unused sick time and vacation time and that he was gonna put half of that towards a ring. I told him for all I care, go to Wal-Mart and buy me a ring, I just want you. he smiled and told me he wanted to buy me a ring to show his feelings for me. then he asked me if he has to ask my dad to marry me, I told him yes (no one has done that for me before) and I think my dad would really appreciate it (kinda a respect thing...kwim) so, then we get to talking about kids. he says he doesn't wanna be (in his words - lol) an old fart when we start to have kids...lol, so we're making progress!

Sounds like a whirlwind and a rush to make things fit.

Janet,


I'm glad you two were able to sort a little bit out, but I wanted to ask, are both Mike's and Rob's names on the lease?


I think you're making great progress at

If both of their names are on the lease, your boyfriend is legally obligated to pay 1/2 the rent until the lease is up. He can say to the other roommate "you have until Sept. 1 to find a roommate" all he wants. Truth is, if he doesn't pay 1/2 the rent until the lease is up, he can be taken to court. The lease is a legal document which can't be broken unless everyone agrees.

The size of a ring shouldn't matter. He's obligated to pay his half as he agreed......

I think that Mike will work out the room mate situation okay. While I know that you have been under financial strain for a few months, it is not always easy to find a decent room mate and he is bound by the lease. It will all be over soon and this shows that Mike is a responsible person.

Try not to stress.

Love the ring story - keep us posted!!
