Well the altimatun was given two weeks and and Mt decision to not decide was apparently a decision. Little backstop, I had known my gf since 8th grade and I had always wanted to be with her. For 10 years I tried and I finally made it happen. It seemed genuine and great at the beginning. That was until about 8 months into dating when we started talking about moving in together. Her mother wanted her out of her house and put her under pressure which relayed into me from her. We looked at different options due to the current economy to see what was the best for us. Looked at trailer houses, rent houses, apartments, and campers. I couldn't accept paying 1500 a month for the apartment she wanted and couldn't comprehend spending 1600 a month in rent to live in the hood of this town. So a camper was the most economical choice. However, it had to be a brand new one. No exceptions not matter how much I tried. I did not want to sign myself up for a 30k-40k camper that was going to be too small for me her the dog and the cat. With each visit we took to look at living situations, she was always mad at me when I didn't jump on it immediately. I like to process big decisions. I believe she wanted out of her mom's house at any cost. Well after 2 months of looking at the options, she gave me the altimatum. I was to either put the down payment down and buy us a brand new camper and put it on an RV lot so we could live in it or we were done. She stated that she was going to pay half the bills. I didn't want to buy a brand new camper due to depreciation so I told her she could buy it and I would pay half the bills or we could go in half on the down payment and we would split the bills. Nope. I had to be the one to drop the down payment and of course I would want it in my name them. She didn't have money for a down payment because she doesn't save much if any money. So I didn't buy a camper. So she updated her fb profile pic and changed her relationship status to single. It's been a lil over 2 weeks now and I wonder sometimes if I was in the wrong for not making that step to make it happen for us. Or if I was being bullied and manipulated into getting this camper with a good chance of her not being happy with it because it's too small and her leaving me with a camper I didn't really want on a 12 year note. Or her possibly making it so rough on me that I would just let her have it. (I found out a week after this altimatum that she hasn't paid off the Xbox she got me for Christmas and will be texturing it as well as keeping the dog that I went in half in on just weeks before the altimatum) I understand wanting a nice place to live but every option she wanted was brand new and was more than I wanted to spend. Was I bullied and pressured into almost making a terrible financial decision for her gain? One of the last things she said was "the worst part about this is that I lose my best friend in this." I'm not sure about anyone else, but I would have never been mean to my bestfriend for not jumping into a major financial decision and not take into the consideration of the stress and pressure I was putting on them. She didn't seem to care at all that I was shutting down due yo overload of stress from her and my job combined. I'm way less stressed now that it's ended. But I do question a lot of things due to being gaslighted and manipulated.
