I’m finding myself in an interesting spot with my living situation this year and would love some advice.
I will be doing a Masters in my boyfriend’s hometown this year. He and I have been together for 4.5 years. Originally, he was also going to be working in his hometown, and we were both going to live at his mum’s house to save money while I’m doing my course.
However, a couple months back, my boyfriend got an amazing job opportunity. It’s going to be a massive jump for his career and I’m so proud of him! Unfortunately, the job is an hour flight away from his hometown.
His mum told me she was still really happy for me to come live with her. All of her kids will be out of the house and she and I get along very well. She also knows I’ve had an awful few months with my family (my dad has been in the hospital for 3.5 months now, with no end in sight) and wanted to reassure me that I don’t need to find housing. I’ve looked, and every house I could find would require me to get a job on top of my studies, which I know would be bad for my grades. My future job is paying for my course and giving me some money to live off of, but it’s not enough to cover both rent and groceries and other living costs.
I told her I would like to take her up on her offer. She’s not charging me rent (she’s outright refused), but she said she’d like to talk about a division of chores. My question is, has anyone else done this? Is there anything I should keep in mind, or be sure I do? I’ve lived at her house for up to a month previously (while my boyfriend has been there too) and I clean up after myself, cook and bake for the family, do my own laundry, and walk and feed the dog. I just want to make sure I start this off ok and don’t make her regret letting me stay!
Tl;dr: my boyfriends mum and I will be flat mates. How do I be respectful?
