Original Reddit post

I talked to my girlfriend about moving in together. In October my lease is up and it also happens to be the same month we’ll have been together for two years. I floated the idea of moving in with her and she said she’ll think about it. I make enough money that I would be all to pay ALL the bills and still have money left over, so I told her she doesn’t have to worry about paying anything and I’d take care of it all. Today I started calling around inquiring about availability in October and told my gf about it. She’s now backpedaling on the whole thing and said she can’t leave her mother alone. Her mom is 65 and she’s convinced she can’t leave her side because she was to “take care of her”. The thing is we’re going to be in the same city. We’ll be ten minutes away from her mother and she can visit her anytime and even help her financially because I’d be taking care of all the bills. Both her siblings are moved out, one is on the other side of the country and the other is four hours away. I don’t know where to go with the conversation from here and I’d really like some advice. submitted by /u/knucklebangers
