[QUOTE="witzend, post: 203266, member: 99"] I can't take all of the credit, I learned most of this stuff from you guys. ;) husband did call him today and ask for more details. Apparently M had talked with two guys who wanted to join him in the apartment last night one was a "for sure" and one was a "really interested". They both called to back out today. husband asked him some questions about utilities and such, he was pretty naive about how that works. But, M had already decided that it was unrealistic to think that the owner of the house would rent to them, and was beginning to realize that keeping track of three roommates for a year was going to be more than he wants to deal with. M also happened to mention the apartment for $350 that I had looked up. He is thinking about that, but also thinking that maybe he should just stay where he is at until he can save up for an apartment that he really would like to be in. He is in the same place that we helped him get into last February, so that is really very steady. M says that he wants to try to save up 3 months salary as a buffer in case something goes wrong. :holymoly: I like what I am seeing. husband didn't ask M if he was going to call me to cancel going to see the house tomorrow. If I don't hear from him by noon, I will call and see what is up. I already had two appointments set for tomorrow, so looking at this house with him was going to be a stretch, anyway. I also feel like it would be more gracious of me to wait to sit and talk about mending fences with him until after he has had time to settle his living situation for himself. I'm dealing with the end of the fiscal year at work, and just started a new payroll program. Needless to say, I'm a little frazzled with that right now and don't have the wits about me (pardon the pun) to dive into my relationship with M right now. I'm still comfortable with taking it slowly. Five years of protecting husband and myself is hard to change, and I want to be able to really think about what is being said when that happens. But, I [i]do[/i] want it to happen. husband and I have an appointment with our therapist next week. Maybe we will talk about it then. It would really feel nice to move on... [/QUOTE]
