Wife Wants to Leave Private Rental vs. Husband Wants to Wait... Netizens Debate Heatedly

Promised to Move After Marriage but Didn't Keep It
Netizens Divided Over the Story

A post by a woman who said she has been married for one year has become a hot topic among netizens. On the 21st, an online community 'Nate Pann' featured a post titled 'Husband who has no intention of leaving the rental apartment.' The author, Ms. A, began by saying, "My husband had been living in a private rental apartment before, so we only paid for the wedding expenses, and I moved in to live there."

Before marriage, Ms. A said she and her husband agreed, "Let's find a newly built apartment and move next year." She added, "Since we live in a provincial area, combining the money I saved, the support from my parents, and the money my husband saved, we can afford to buy an apartment," and continued, "We promised to move soon because even if we didn't have money, the combined savings and parental support were quite substantial."

Ms. A went on, "But as the saying goes, when a person is standing, they want to sit; when sitting, they want to lie down. After getting married and living in the rental apartment, my husband seems completely settled in," she said. "When I suggest going to a real estate agency on the weekend, he says it's too hot and he's bothered. Then when I say, 'Let's check the actual transaction prices together on the laptop,' he replies 'next time,' 'next time,' turns his back, lies down, and just watches YouTube," expressing her frustration.

Frustrated with her husband's laziness, Ms. A said, "I was so angry that I packed my bags and came to my parents' house." She added that her parents responded, "Living in a rental apartment isn't bad, but if you promised to work together to move to a better place while you're still young, you should keep that promise. Now that you've lived there, the management fees are cheap and it's convenient, so he's probably trying to settle in," advising her not to give in. Finally, Ms. A clarified that her post was not intended to criticize living in rental apartments and asked netizens for advice on her current situation.

Netizens responded to Ms. A's story with comments such as "Are you sure your husband has money? It seems like he doesn't have money or is trying to save the money for his parents' retirement instead of buying a house," "If you can buy without a loan, I recommend moving out. If you need a loan, it's better to stay in the rental as long as possible while you don't have children to save more money," "Honestly, you should buy as soon as possible. Owning a home you live in is a huge asset and provides stability in life," "I vote that the husband's savings are invested in stocks or coins" and other reactions.

On the other hand, some netizens advised, "If you can live in a rental house, isn't it normal to save money and live there until you can afford to buy?" and "If it's a private rental, you can live there for a few years and then get priority to purchase at a price lower than the market, so buying through that route might be an option." Another netizen advised, "Think carefully about having children. Instead of worrying about buying a house, you should pay attention to your husband's values and attitude toward life."
