text: i have to buy my own place since im getting a divorce and i have been dateing? this guy for 3 months and really like him and i was considering seeing is maybe he wants to buy a place together since he only is renting now.is this a bad idea? if you are in the process of divorce perhaps it is a bit soon to be taking such a big step as to get a place with another guy. perhaps you would do well to consider taking time to be with yourself to reflect on your marriage and what went wrong. i don't know how long your were married but you spent time in that relationship and gave it your energy. now you have a chance to devote time to yourself. if this guy really likes you he will be around. that is my two cents. sorry to hear about your divorce.
