My HTB will be staying at my place after our customary in Nov.
In fact, he is happily staying over at my place during the weekends and slowly getting used to my family. We do not see the reason why a man cannot live at his wife house in this century.
We have yet make any plans getting our new place as we do not want to be heavily financial burdened on wedding and housing matters at the same time… so taking its pace as it goes and moreover we are both very comfortable staying at my place.
Think having your FIL making that comment, this shows he is a very traditional man, probably he needs time to open up.
Paying a sum of $300.Think it is reasonable to pay for the maintenance and utilities etc. My HTB is gg to pay $500 monthly to my mum even she nv request for it. We felt its just right to do so.
If having pple talking about you and your hubby behind… sometimes it’s just unavoidable. I have some of my relatives asking my mum about this, but not that they are thinking low of us, but they are surprised that my HTB is willing to stay with us as not many guys able to do it, and they felt it is a nice gesture from him. You know la, after marriage, girls are so called ‘married off’ to other family, so by doing so, its also letting me spending more time with my family... specially my dad travels a lot, usually away for one full month or more every 2-3months. My HTB hopes we can be there for her any time.
