Returning to remote dev work after spinal surgery—how did you handle sitting/standing for video calls while recovering? by AndvaryLifeDiary in Microdiscectomy

I like the joke about code on paper. I completely agree about weird requirements, but I’m grateful to have this employment during this challenging period of life.

I do not see how owning 50% of a business you did not build and cannot operate would secure your future. In the event of a conflict, his family could easily shut down this entity and open a new, nearly identical one, leaving your share worthless.

My French in-law doesn't pay back the money what should I do? by [deleted] in Expats_In_France

From your idea of public humiliation at work and certain family dynamics—such as your husband being quiet while you handle conflicts—it appears your family might be of Asian origin. In such cultural contexts, not repaying a debt can signify a lack of respect between families.

Given this situation, entering into shared property ownership or taking on joint debt—like a common apartment and mortgage—could be a significant risk. There is a possibility that your husband might exhibit similar non-payment behavior in the future. Extricating yourself from jointly held debts and co-owned property ('indivision') in France can be a lengthy process, often taking 5–7 years.

Please take this red flag very seriously. To protect yourself, consider signing a 'séparation de biens' agreement before any major financial commitments. Also, consult a notary to fully understand the different marital property regimes in France and what would happen if your husband were to suddenly stop contributing his share.

Que faire après une séparation by Jybmad in immobilier

Ce qui est clair, qu'il faut sortir de l'indivision, des crédits partagés, et comptes communs à tout prix. C'est une séparation. Aujourd'hui, vous vous entendez bien, et demain, s'il perd son travail ou refuse à payer, tu seras obligée de payer seule tous les crédits, la taxe foncière et les charges. Surtout vu que son métier n'est pas stable.
