AITA: My mom wants to move in with me and my fiancé..

I am 24 and my fiancé is 26. We are freshly engaged and moving in with each other soon.

Well, about a week ago, my mom and her husband had a bad crash out and are now getting a divorce.

I have tried to send her apartments and condos, but she keeps saying she could just move in with us and get a house with us for a year while the divorce settles.

This is the last thing they want for their new apartment with their fiancé.

I love her and I would do absolutely anything for her, but this is a lot.

I’ve cried and been upset with myself, but part of me thinks this is asking a lot of me and my fiancé.

We are just now starting our lives together, and it just seems like so much to put on our relationship right now.

AITA?

It’s important to support family, but your own needs matter too.

Reddit is sure to have some strong opinions.

With a situation like this, it’s best to just rip the bandaid off.

This commenter agrees that letting their mother move in with them would spell disaster for their relationship.

This user doesn’t think the mother should have even asked in the first place.

The mother may be having a hard time now, but she’s going to figure it out eventually.

Sometimes saying no is the right choice for your own sanity.
