Today, the guy I have loved for seven years asked me to move in with him. Turns out he only did so because he needed someone to pay the rent since he's quit his job. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he never thought we had a future together. He just wanted to move in together so he could get "cheaper rent for a while." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years moved in with two other women. He's spent the past 2 years telling me he can't afford to move out of his parent's house. FML
Today, I asked the person I love to commit to me. Instead, he packed his shit and moved out. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, claiming moving in was a bad idea and he is the type who needs his privacy. It was his idea to move in, he had to convince me. Now we are stuck, under lease together for the next 6 months. FML
Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML

Are you guys dating? Because I don't see much of a problem if you are. If you're not dating, just forget about him and move on.

Use all the hot water before he showers.

Move out? He can't force you to stay. Or just say no. Easy!

Well he trusts you enough not to kill him in his sleep.

I too get the impression they weren't dating since she didn't say boyfriend. OP don't move in with him, and if you already have see if there's a way you can get out of the lease. If all else fails just take him to small claims court or Judge Judy.

Take him to small claims court for what? She didn't say she was supplying the entire rent, or that she was giving him money - Simply that she was asked to move in because he was unemployed. All that implies is that he simply can't handle full rent without somebody else in the house, which would mean she covers half. . Which is fair.

If he is paying for half then there's no need to, but the FML makes it sound like she's paying all of it.
Egnar 19
No it doesn't - It just says he's recently unemployed - She wasn't asked to "Take over expenses" she was asked to move in. Reasonable people save money if they don't have a job. I don't have the best job in the world but if I lost it right now I could live 14 months without any income, however, having a roommate would almost double that time [aka the time used to find a new job]. It's practical to move in when budget is short.

You have to consider that there are most likely more reasons behind it than just what he told her about just rent. Rent does more than just the living space, it's the electrical, plumbing, etc. I rented for 3 years. The landlord can change things unexpectedly. If he's unemployed, depending how much his previous wage was, there's a pretty good chance that she's paying it all, and he's taking care of his own food and whatnot. We don't know his wage, we don't know her wage. If he's asking her to move in while he's unemployed, and didn't give her the reason in the first place as to why he wanted her to move in, than yeah, it seems plausible he wanted her to pay the rent for the duration of his unemployment, and maybe make her pay half once he gets a job. All in all, he shouldn't have asked someone else to pay his rent, he could just either move out into a cheaper rental, or budgeted his money better, employed or unemployed. But if he takes this rent thing too far, she can take him too court, there's no reason why she cant.

61 I agree. I think the FML is more focused on the fact the OP believed he was finally making a move when in actuality he was only concerned about finances. not that she is being used by a lazy lover for her money. so she might not be paying full rent, she's just mad his motive wasn't love.

So either you two are dating, and the big "move in together" didn't happen as romantically as you hoped. Life isn't a fairytale. Or you're really just friends and you were automatically hoping for more when he asked you to move in, but friends move in together for practical reasons all the time, so it's no big deal. Of course if he knew about your feelings but can't return them, he probably should've thought twice, but if he didn't, you really can't blame him. In that case you were the one jumping to conclusions.
