need help!

Thank you ladies for all the support and congratulations on my engagement! I'm so happy with Jesse. Cute story, he wants to be a politician and likes dressing up, so I bought him a pair of suspenders for Christmas. Well, the other day he decided to see how they looked on, he got all fancied up, tie, suspenders, and nice shirt, then just hung around the house so happy because he thought he looked so good...he even made cookies in his suspenders and tie. He's so cute I just want to squeeze him!

Other news: I am becoming pathetically domestic. Here's what people gave me for Christmas. Blender, food saver, milkshake maker, air popcorn popper, sewing machine...is that sad or what?!

And now for the needing help part. A few months ago when I first moved into my apartment, I was in shock about how much I'd be spending on rent, parking, utilities and other bills. So I had the bright idea of inviting Jesse's older brother to come live with me (so he could help split the costs). But now, I've become used to my bills and like living alone.

He's visiting us right now and yesterday Jesse brought moving here with me up to him, and apparently he's seriously considering it. So, what can I do to make him not want to move here without having to tell them I changed my mind!!! My apartment is too small to have another person living with me, and I'd never be able to use my living room again because that's where he'd live. I have to pretend to want him to live here , and somehow have him decide on his own not to move...HELP!!!!


Love-NEW

well honestly I think your apt. sounds way too small, especially for someone of the opposite sex who you're not dating, and when it is not specified as a temporary arrangement. I think it's perfectly understandable to realize that maybe the monthly expenses weren't as bad as you thought, and that you can handle it. I know I've realized the same thing. And I'm not sure how close you are to jesse's brother, (maybe you would grow closer living together) but the last thing you want is to jeopardize the rapport with brother boy or worst case Jesse. It's your apt--do what you want!!

I say go the honest route like meg said. Besides, you want your relationship with Jesse to be the priority and don't want to put yourself in any situations where you could come between brothers or brothers could come between soon to be newlyweds. Day to day living quarrels could put a strain on things. Just offer a couch to crash on and help him find his own place.
