Homercles' and 78Corvette's opinions on the subject matter
Homercles:
You point out that you're going to do something stupid. And not just garden-variety stupid, but stupid on legal, financial and potentially emotional levels. Potentially explosively epic stupid. So a group of concerned individuals that you turned to in the first place point out the many flaws in your grand design, and now they're the assholes?
Hmmm. I guess I'm now having trouble wrapping my brain around how you do anything but thank us for trying to save you from a potentially explosively epic stupid situation. It may all work out, but if it doesn't, this will be 100 times worse than marriage #1.
For my part, despite the fact that I've taken the obligatory digs at you, I honestly think you're taking a completely unnecessary risk, and I just want you to have good advice. And if she is really the one, she'll be fine with you buying the house solo and adding her after you're hitched. But maybe the drama is what it's all about in the first place?
78Corvette:
You remind me of my 6 year-old...
When he's mad at his friends or doesn't get his way, he replies with "You're not my friend any more."
Why would you hang out at a place where you don't like 95% of the people? It either means you have no other options, or you really are the pathetic attention whore you seem to be in your RCab-style posts.
You got good advice yesterday, in the true OTF style. It's not this board's fault that you were an idiot when contriving this potential nightmarish scenario.
For the record, I'm not chewing my nails knowing where I fit on your personal "cool list." Never has it felt so good to be average.
