When i was single, my parents and i bought a house, they gave me the 10,000 dollars for the deposit, and i got the house loan, we all lived there and we loved it.... then i met my ex wife and got married....we rented ourselves an apartment and we tried to rent, but with mortgage and rent on 1 income it failed, so she started to nag, "i want to live in your house", "i want us to be our own family", "we should be living in your house".
Well me being the moron i am agreed and told mum and dad about us living there by ourselves and they moved out.... we were ok for a month or two, but then work decided to go on strike for a month which set me back on my mortgage repayments, which i could never catch up on eventually i sold the house.
My parents rented for a while and 2 years ago with my dad's redundancy money bought their own house, and my marriage fell apart and now i rent.
The thing i have to forgive myself for is for agreeing to go live by ourselves and kick my parents out, i should have never listened to the nagging, i should have been strong and not done it, but i was freshly married wanted to make her happy etc etc etc....had i not been a fool, the house would have been paid for and dad would have used his redundancy money for other stuff, i would have a house in my name all paid for so if i wanted to buy another i could have... but no. i was an idiot and screwed everything up.
I don't think i will ever forgive myself for that. i know i have to but i wont.
I made a dumb decision, it was WHACK! and i should not have done it.
Thats day 3 done.....
Hmm.. That is a tough one. Isn't it one of those things where you make the best decision you can at the time? Sometimes you have to take that chance. At the end of the day it turned out to be whack, but you learned a lot by living the process.
