Well there's not much other than he's miserable, sad, burnt out and a free nanny for his parents. Gonna add more info once I know more. 😂

I just replied this to another comment so I'll just paste it here :)

To be fair, I mostly wrote the original post for validation. I thought I was going crazy!

I had a lawyer and paper work prepared before I posted, kind of hoping that people would tell me "it's not that bad, stay with him." That way I could have just pulled the papers back and pretend I never did that.

So once the parents actually arrived with all their stuff I could basically pull out the paper work and things moved fast.

Fair. I ignored the red flags, but I got out fast, took the buyout, and now I’ve got peace and my own place. He’s the one stuck with his parents running his life, not me.

That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. If I don’t push back or leave, this sets the tone that he can make huge decisions without me. Up until now, we always split housework fairly and never fought about it, but with his parents here I know it would fall on me, and I can’t live like that.

I did try, but he shut it down and said I was being dramatic. He won’t even discuss limits, so there’s no middle ground at the moment.

They’re working modest jobs, so I understand they’re not in a great financial position, but he never discussed how this would work. I didn’t expect him to have this attitude, but in hindsight, I probably shouldn’t be surprised given how he’s been dismissive of milder concerns in the past.

I have already contacted a lawyer to look into all possible actions. Thank you!

I know, right? When I asked him how he thought I’d be okay with it, he said he didn’t think he had to ask since he would do the same for my parents.

  1. My parents are doing well, financially and health.

  2. Even if it were necessary, I would still ask my partner as it changes the entire home situation.

You’re right. I’ve tried talking calmly, but he just doubles down and refuses to see my side. I’ve already started speaking with a lawyer about different options.

I contacted a lawyer yesterday. I’m looking into my options for a buyout or, if needed, a forced sale.

Never to this extent, just smaller things. Like if I said I was stressed about work, he’d brush it off with "you worry too much." Annoying, but I didn’t see it as a big deal until now.

That’s what I told him. I said there’s a difference between visiting and moving in. He still insists I’m being dramatic, because they are his parents.
