Hey Brock,

I’ve found myself in a bit of a tough spot lately and could really use some advice. My girlfriend and I decided to move in together about two months ago, and things were going smoothly until her mom’s living situation took a turn. Long story short, her mom ended up staying with us temporarily, but what was supposed to be a few weeks has now turned into two months.

It’s getting really cramped and awkward, especially since her mom has to use our bathroom. I’ve been feeling increasingly frustrated about the situation, and it’s starting to strain my relationship with my girlfriend. I’ve suggested the idea of me getting my own place, but my girlfriend took it as a sign of our relationship’s status.

My family members have conflicting opinions – my sister thinks I should be more patient, while my brother thinks I should break things off and find my own place. I do love my girlfriend, but is it fair to have to share such intimate living space with her mom? I’m considering making a decision by the end of the month, but I’m not sure if that’s reasonable. What do you think?
