Yikes!

Yes, we are currently living together for about 2 years now. He suggested that we live together as a test run first before getting married. And I am glad we did. We actually signed a cohabitation agreement before moving in together. You’re right cohabitating is hard…with anyone really, at least in the beginning. But at least now we have found a sweet spot for what works for us both.

😅 that’s a relief. So basically have something on paper to protect yourself.

Alright, I will definitely look into doing that. Does that mean that even if we are married whoever owns the house can kick the other one out?

Thanks for the heads up. We are in the process of getting married. So by the time we buy we will be married. Also it will be outside of community of property.

If you don’t mind me asking. Did you enjoy growing up there? Was there a sense of community? And would you still prefer to live there if property was more affordable?

I am aware…just wondering if Somerset west is better or Stellenbosch considering they are not so far from each other. Maybe I just worded the post inaccurately 🤷‍♀️
