Living with your Significant Other’s (SO’s) parents is hard.
Like, really, really hard. Like, harder than most people would imagine, I think. It’s not fun. Can’t wait to leave! But rent in Silicon Valley is expensive and I left my rent-controlled 1 BR apartment in San Jose so I could move in with Lindsey and pay off my student loans quicker! Amanda (my ex) lived with me when I was going to community college and living with my Dad in Southern California and I’ve only recently realized what an emotional struggle the day-in-day-out must’ve been for her (I was totally naïve). You’re an outsider in every regard. Totally discounted, wholly unimportant. Just, an obstacle. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
What a mess. Oh well. Check out the bonus panel!
